Lone Star College Leadership Academy

As Lone Star College's premier Leadership Development program, The Academy is committed to growing, supporting and celebrating Lone Star College’s current and emerging leaders by encouraging Fellows to lead from where they are. The Academy prepares individuals for future service to Lone Star College, our students, and our communities through a curriculum that inspires a personal leadership transformation. The program focuses on philosophical and theoretical aspects of leadership, collaboration, problem solving, strategic thinking, and personal awareness.  The American Association of Community College's (AACC) Core Competencies for Community College Leaders are foundational to the program's curriculum.
