Emerging Leaders

The Emerging Leaders Program strives to strengthen student’s leadership skills by promoting ethical leadership based on the Marianist charism, and the Marianist Core Leadership Values (consultation and collaboration, inclusiveness and equality, adaptation and change, and community in mission). With the assistance of peer mentors, each Emerging Leader will develop relationships with other student leaders, faculty, and staff, as they gain knowledge and skills to make them better leaders. The program takes place in the fall and spring semesters each year.

Leadership Series

Leadership Series is a monthly opportunity for StMU students to explore current events and leadership topics through the lens of our Marianist Charism. Sessions are held every month, please contact leadership@stmarytx.edu for more information.
