Mission and Vision Update

SSLS Alumna Dr. Lori Pyle ('13), Leadership Coach, Consultant, and Facilitator, facilitated a workshop with SSLS faculty and staff to update our mission and vision statements in May of this year. We are excited to share our updated statements with the SSLS Community, and would like to extend a special recognition and thanks to Dr. Pyle for her support and guidance through the process!

Updated Mission

The School of Strategic Leadership Studies develops leadership scholar practitioners through rigorous, quantitative-based, interdisciplinary study.

Vision

Exceptional, ethical, and evidence-based leadership across spheres of influence and knowledge.

There's still time to donate to SSLS in 2021!

Financial sustainability and ongoing support are essential to providing high-impact professional development experiences to our students. It costs...

  • $21,500 to fund one full-year assistantship stipend.
  • $3,693 to cover one 3-credit course at the out-of-state rate.
  • $1,500 to cover one 3 credit course at the in-state rate.
  • $250 to support gathering data for a dissertation proposal
  • $100 for student registration for a conference

In 2020, we were able to raise $9,254 for SSLS's student support initiatives. In our Spring 2021 newsletter, we shared our ambitious goal of doubling last year's totals in support of our DocDukes. To date, SSLS has raised $11,097 this year. We would be forever grateful if you could help us get closer to our goal of $18,000 by EOY. ANY contribution is enough to make a difference for our future change agents! Thank you for your support to make SSLS stronger!

DONATE TO SSLS

Giving Tuesday 2021

Thanks to donor support, we were able to raise $1,095 on #GivingTuesday for our Open Access Publication Fund! This campaign allowed us to offset open access publication fees for Dr. Selznick’s latest article Developing appreciative attitudes toward Jews: A multi-campus investigation in the Journal of Higher Education (2021). The remaining 2021 Giving Tuesday funds will continue to support making future SSLS faculty scholarship open access to reach as many scholar-practitioners and organizational leaders as possible.

2021 Fundraising Overview

We are delighted to share that SSLS raised over $11,097 from 88 individual and household supporters during the 2021 calendar year! Your financial contributions directly support our mission of developing scholar-practitioners by providing summer research stipends, dissertation research incentives, and SSLS programming that advances the scholarly and professional development of our program participants.  SSLS faculty and students are grateful for your support in making high-impact opportunities possible to our future leaders!
