The Beginning Expand

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 Expand

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.
