10th Anniversary Celebration
10th Anniversary Celebration
Join the Staley School of Leadership as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Snyder Leadership Legacy Fellows program.
Since 2015, the Snyder Leadership Legacy Fellows program has impacted more than 300 K-State students from all majors and areas of study. Using Coach Bill Snyder's 16 Goals for Success as a guide, Wildcats grew in their leadership practice, met with mentors, and prepared for life after K-State.
Join the 2025-2026 class, faculty, staff, and fellow alumni as we celebrate the tenth anniversary of this transformational program with events and more throughout the year. With so many ways to get involved, there's something for everyone to join the party!
In addition to the current class and programming staff, familiar faces who have inspired previous classes are planning to join in the fun: Marcia Hornung, Mike Finnegan, Tamara Bauer, Kaitlin Long, Dillon Wilson, Frank Hernandez, Jaime Mendez, and Jon McGraw are all planning to be involved throughout the year.
