The Leadership Institute at Franciscan University forms highly skilled Catholic leaders to be witnesses of truth, reason, and virtue in the marketplace, in the Church, and in the broader culture.
God calls each person to identify and pursue his or her talents with passion and then embrace leadership roles in science, technology, business, nursing, education, or other career fields, as well as in family life, religious life, the priesthood, or Church ministry. The Leadership Institute helps students answer that call by forming them in leadership craft illuminated by Franciscan virtues and Catholic social teaching.
The Leadership Institute includes academic programming, special topic courses, and a new Entrepreneurship Minor Program. It also offers an executive leadership speaker series featuring extraordinary servant leaders who share their insights with tomorrow’s leaders.
