“I very much enjoy the group seminar discussion style of the center. It allows for a variety of ideas to be shared among all students, and encourages quick thinking and demands well-developed verbal communication skills.”

“A lot of my leadership positions were in my public high school, so I wanted to learn more about bringing Christ into my leadership and becoming a servant leader…The Center for Leadership is helping me see the importance of having good Christian leaders in our world. Our culture is desperately seeking truth, and Christian leaders, if doing their jobs correctly, can bring truth to the world.”

“Each day in Congress, I see a complex array of problems that affect civic institutions, our culture, and our families. It is imperative that our nation’s future leaders be well prepared to address these challenges. That’s why I am happy to lend my support to Franciscan University’s Center for Leadership.”

“We need a well-catechized laity, well-versed in the social teaching of our Catholic heritage to set our civic world on fire. Franciscan's Center for Leadership is helping meet that need, giving students the tools necessary for effective, faithful engagement with the secular world.”
