Abstract
This chapter illustrates model student leadership development programs offered at institutions of higher education and discusses leadership competencies needed to succeed in today's global job market and our diverse society. Highlighted programs are rooted in developmental theories, such as Chickering's psychosocial theory; function within proven frameworks, including the Social Change Model of Leadership and Leadership Challenge; and include service-learning projects to optimize transformative learning and ethical leadership. The chapter concludes with areas for further research related to the sustainable impact of leadership development programs, as well as content and delivery methods of student leadership development programs that are tailored for diverse learners, including nontraditional-aged college students and students of varied cultural ancestry, such as Asian, Middle Eastern, and Indigenous Peoples.
