Center for Student Engagement and Leadership Development

Leadership Development - header


At Saint Francis University, our philosophy of student-leadership development is put into practice through F.L.A.S.H. Leadership Development. F.L.A.S.H., or Franciscan Leaders: Achieve, Serve, and Honor, focuses on leadership development, character formation, and responsible citizenship -- all inspired by the institution's Catholic, Franciscan mission. These competencies are derived from a number of sources, including: Catholic Social Teachings, Ex Corde Ecclesiae, the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition, the Saint Francis University Goals of Franciscan Higher Education, and the Saint Francis University General Education Objectives

Regardless of one's faith or faith practices, it is the belief of Saint Francis University that the values and moral example provided by our Patron Saint Francis of Assisi transcends time, culture, and religion to offer a universal and purely human approach to service in leadership.
