Leadership development for KSU Marietta provides comprehensive, co-curricular initiatives for STEM students that support the Division of Student Affairs' mission to enhance students' holistic development and sense of community.  New professionals entering the work force need intentional leadership development competencies to be best prepared for careers in the field. Leadership development can be integrated into academic areas, using co-curricular programming that is weaved into class and out of class.  
 
Leadership development promotes excellence, enriches students’ educational experience, and promotes job placement and career success by:

  • Learning how to assess and build on their strengths, students become independent thinkers and improve their decision-making skills
  • Gaining an understanding of professional environments and professionalism, students improve their collaboration skills and vice-versa   

Developing reasoning and communication skills, students are better prepared for coursework and professional success  
 
To ensure that all students are receiving comprehensive leadership knowledge and practice, The Leadership Hub provides additional programming to enhance the academic curriculum. Leadership workshops and applicable experiences can be embedded within coursework and in co-curricular opportunities.  These workshops and experiences are grounded in researched leadership development models and trends.
