摘要：Leadership development in students is considered a priority at contemporary institutions of higher education (Astin & Astin, 2000; Boatman, 1999; Roberts, 2003b). Leadership can include how a student serves an institution of higher education and how individuals perceive themselves in the context of greater society. Contemporary colleges and universities provide numerous leadership opportunities for students. These formal and informal leadership development activities can include in-class and out-of-class experiences (Boatman, 1999; King, 2003). The purpose of the current study was to describe how postsecondary institutions from a variety of typologies develop student leaders. Leadership, in the study, was specifically focused on student government bodies. Specifically, the study sought to identify how postsecondary institutions can work as a collective of officers and agencies to enhance effective leadership skills. Presidents of student government associations at 13 institutions were interviewed.
