Leadership Exchange - Spring 2010

MSL is an annual, international study exploring the role of higher education in shaping leadership development among college students. The study examines a wide array of leadership outcomes (self-awareness, citizenship, collaboration) and leadership-related outcomes (cognitive skills, efficacy, social perspective-taking). It also explores how students engage with the college environment (mentoring relationships, involvement patterns). Findings from MSL 2011 will allow your school to:

Understand student experiences ;; influencing leadership development on your campus.

Obtain a benchmark ;; for comparing leadership outcomes internally and externally with national and peer norms.

Develop evidence-based programs, ;; interventions, and services.

“Participating in the MSL has provided us a wealth of information about our students, their experiences, and how they learn about and understand leadership. The data is extensive and has been an important source of information for institutional assessment efforts. It has helped us measure a number of departmental and university learning outcomes.”

— Dr. Jon Dooley, Senior Associate Dean of Student Development, Marquette University

MSL is a project of the National Clearinghouse for Leadership Programs in conjunction with the Center for Student Studies.
