Establishment of Center
As an Alumnus of N.C. State, General Hugh Shelton, 14th Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, has given generously to NC State in both time and energy, establishing the General H. Hugh Shelton Leadership Center to train students, faculty, executives and community leaders in some of the leadership skills that led to his own success. As Executive Director, General Shelton is committed to developing values-based leadership skills to enhance corporate, government, education, non-profit and youth development organizations. The forum concentrates on four tracks: corporate; K-12 Education; Higher Education; and Community.
As an extension of NC State, the Center seeks to assist indivduals across the life-span opportunities to develop and enhance leadership skills and practices emphasizing the importance of honesty, integrity, social responsibility, diversity, and compassion as a leader.
The Shelton Leadership Center focuses on scholarships, youth leadership training, and an annual professional leadership development forum. For more details on each program thrust, we encourage you to review the website.
