CPNL Launches New Graduate Leadership Fellowship at it’s October 2024 Celebration

“We in higher education have a responsibility to our students to promote a notion of leadership that is not about position, but about people—people as problem solvers, social innovators and community builders. A vibrant democracy requires many citizens willing to do the hard work of leading change. There are students sitting in our classrooms who have the untapped potential to unite us and remind us that public service is a noble and worthy calling. We educators have an unparalleled opportunity to unleash their energy and talents and to prepare them for a new kind of leadership.” –   Kathy Postel Kretman
