Hesston College’s new leadership program was recently awarded a $10,000 Leadership Transformation Grant from the Kansas Leadership Center (KLC) (Wichita) for 15 participants to attend KLC programs for leadership development in 2016.

Hesston’s program was one of 15 institutions selected at the $10,000 level. The funding will be used to allow students, faculty and staff from the college to participate in KLC training programs alongside representatives from the other institutions.

The leadership program at Hesston is currently being developed to be launched in fall 2016. It will help students develop their own leadership capacities as they lead and serve in the church, community and world.
