Did you Know?

The Beginning

Austin College’s President Emeritus, Oscar C. Page, established the institute in 1994 to present a modern model of leadership to students that embraced service to others, and a global perspective of influence and personal responsibility. 

Lee and Sally Posey

In 2002, The Poseys found the goals of the Leadership Institute in keeping with their own goals of service and mentoring. The program now bears their name in honor of their generous investment in the program and their example of leadership.

Guest Speakers

Students involved with the institute have had the opportunity to interact with Dr. John Hart, Dr. Tedd Mitchell, Clarice Tinsley, Dr. Jack Goodyear, and Reginald Hatter.

Experiential Learning

Students are prepared for life after Austin College by having experiences that provide them the opportunity to reflect on their personal leadership styles.

Video Above: The Posey Leadership Institute is offering a minor through Austin College to help inspire and train future leaders.

 

In this video, Dr. Tedd Mitchell and Dr. Sheila Pineres explain the benefits and requirements of the Posey Leadership minor.

Video at Right: Posey Leadership Guest Speaker, Reginald Hatter discusses his outreach for underprivileged students through Workshop Houston, a free after-school program designed to deliver creative, technical, and educational programs for youth in the Third Ward-area and beyond.
