ISU Leadership Symposium
The ISU Leadership Program promotes ethical leadership and leading with character. The annual ISU Leadership Symposium provides a focus on themes of "ethics" and "character" and features guest speakers and content information from national organizations such as the Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership (Indianapolis) and the Josephson Institute of Ethics (Los Angeles). Funded by the ISU Leadership Program budget, this annual Symposium is offered free of charge to everyone in the ISU community.
