Students select an academic area to study, choosing from among government and politics, engineering and robotics, global business and entrepreneurship, intelligence, diplomacy and national security, crime scene investigation, law and trial advocacy, and medicine and healthcare. Or, they may attend Leadership University, an in-depth, intensive leadership development conference for young leaders.
“Leadership is essential to a student’s future success,” says Chris M. Salamone, founder and executive director of LeadAmerica. “In today’s world, it is imperative that we nurture leadership potential from a very young age.”
