Leadership Lens

How do you view leadership through your camera lens?

Since 2010, the Leadership Studies Building on Kansas State University’s Manhattan campus has served as the primary home to the Staley School of Leadership. When we opened the doors in 2010, we proudly showcased original artwork and photography from individuals connected to Kansas. These inspiring pieces were refreshed and rotated over time, reflecting the evolving spirit of our community.

In fall 2025, we invited students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of K-State to submit their photographs for consideration once more, creatively interpreting the theme: How do you view leadership through your camera lens?
