Research on Leadership Programs
• Businesses: Enormous Amount• Students: Relatively Little
– How about Computer Science/Computer Engineering Graduate Students?
Is This A Blue Ocean?• Student Leadership Development is used
by many colleges and universities to create well rounded and educated individuals.
Development Outcomes of College Students’ Involvement in Leadership Activities– Christine M. Cress, Helen S. Astin, Kathleen Zimmerman-Oster, John C. Burkhardt
• Yet, most institutions have traditionally only paid minimal attention to the development of their students as leaders in terms of offering specific leadership programs or curricula.

Teamwork Skills were Enhanced by Student Leadership.
• Personal and Professional Interpersonal Communication Skills were Improved by Student Leadership.

Integrity– “New research confirms that the
effectiveness of strategies such as modified honor codes that emphasize student leadership and the importance of academic integrity will be very significant in the future of academics”

Understanding the Nature of SL
• Daniel Breen Study (1970)– Questionnaires to 148 colleges, 60 responded, 40 had
leadership development programs.– Six commonalities of leadership programs:
• Students were always involved in planning the programs• The student activities department took a major role in the
planning and implementation of these programs• The best programs cost money• Weekend retreat formats were very popular• Effective programs usually involved small groups and
experience-based learning of an interpersonal and problem-solving nature with the theory and lecture kept to a minimum.
• Feedback sessions where participants were permitted to react to the program were very beneficial.
