The Staley School of Leadership Studies at Kansas State University has selected members of the 2016 class of Snyder Leadership Legacy Fellows. The leadership development program is for outstanding students entering their final year of undergraduate studies at the university.
“K-State head football coach Bill Snyder is known as a developer of leaders whose legacies’ continues to have a tremendous impact that extends far beyond the game of football,” said Marcia Hornung, director of the Snyder Leadership Legacy Fellows and instructor of Leadership Studies. “Coach Snyder’s ‘16 Goals for Success’ have been embraced by many as guiding principles for success in life — in family, community and career. The Staley School, in partnership with K-State Athletics, is honored to offer a program to facilitate leadership development for students based on coach Snyder’s goals for success. Students were selected for the program based on their demonstrated leadership skills and potential.”
Snyder Fellows will engage in a variety of leadership development workshops, activities and events during the 2016-2017 academic year, kicking off with an intensive retreat in May. The program honors coach Snyder and his dedication to Kansas State University, the Staley School of Leadership Studies, his players and the university’s students by continuing his work in developing high impact leaders on campus, in their communities, in their states and beyond, Hornung said.
Local Kansas State University student, who will be a 2016-2017 graduate selected for the Snyder Leadership Legacy Fellows program is Taylor Fry, senior in marketing, Great Bend.
