About the Department

The General H. Hugh Shelton Leadership Center (SLC) was founded in 2002 to assist in the development of the next generation of values-based leaders. In partnership with corporate, governmental, educational, non-profit, and youth development organizations, the mission of SLC is to inspire, educate, and develop values-based leaders committed to personal integrity, professional ethics, and selfless service. Our core values are compassion, integrity, diversity, and social responsibility.

Signature programs of the SLC include the Red Hat Shelton Challenge for high school students, the Shelton Forum, a professional conference held annually, Shelton Scholars, a premier scholarship program, and the Chancellor’s Leadership Development program for first-generation and/or rural college students.
