Leadership Ed

Leadership Education is a part of the Student Leadership Department at BYU. We provide practical leadership training to BYU students through several seminars and conferences. Through this training individuals learn leadership principles and are introduced to the Divine-centered Leadership model and how they can follow Jesus Christ's example of leadership in their lives.

They are also introduced to various leadership opportunities on campus through organizations within BYUSA, Student Leadership, and other departments.
