Leadership Development Program
Employers consistently list leadership as a major need in the workplace. Equipping students to meet this growing need is just one of the reasons that Northwestern College established a leadership minor during the 2007–08 academic year and launched a leadership development program in 2009.
The Leadership Minor and Leadership Development Program support Northwestern's mission to equip students to grow intellectually and spiritually, to serve effectively in their professions and to give God-honoring leadership in the home, church, community and world.
