About us

The Mary Lynn and Warren Staley School of Leadership at Kansas State University is a values-centered learning community that provides academic, co-curricular, and applied learning experiences to students across the university with the purpose of developing bold, curious, and connected learners to address our world’s most complex challenges.

A focus on incubating new initiatives, and building and strengthening partnerships has allowed the Staley School to evolve in new and diverse ways – launching new academic programs and becoming home to additional university-wide programs and initiatives, committed to enriching learning both in and out of the classroom.

The Staley School of Leadership envisions a diverse and changing world that thrives because people and communities are prepared to learn, serve, and lead change.

Our Next-Gen K-State strategic plan outlines our commitment to deliver a powerful, distinctive experience that prepares K-State learners and partners to solve the world’s most pressing challenges - through study and practice, in person and on-line, in Kansas and across the globe.
