Research
We will be a case study of excellence in academically developing leaders and pushing the field of leadership research forward.
CU Boulder is a Tier 1 research university, home to five Nobel Prize winners, 12 research institutes and 10 on-campus makerspaces in the best college town in America (Business Insider, 2018). The Center for Leadership supports leadership research across many disciplines, sectors and areas of interest. Our faculty and students engage with a variety of research-based approaches to better understand the world and the implications of the ever-evolving field of leadership. In particular, the Center for Leadership values leadership around mental health and wellness, experiential education, and creating environments that provide equal opportunities for everyone to thrive.
Research conducted at the University of Colorado Boulder and supported by the Center for Leadership will empower programs across our campus to deliver world-class leadership education through research- and evidence-based practices, and lead to quantifiable, transformative effects.
Interdisciplinary Research Connections
Are you interested in researching leadership from an interdisciplinary perspective but aren't sure how to start the process? The Center for Leadership not only financially supports these endeavors through our Seed Grants, but acts as a conduit for bringing folks together from across all schools, colleges, and programs across campus.
