What our students are saying
"VALUE has pushed me outside my comfort zone but within a supportive framework. Research has always scared me as someone planning to graduate from a doctoral program. VALUE is giving me both a challenge and a success I can use as a foundation for future academic endeavors."
- Jonathan Jett, 2018-19 Research Scholar, Prattville, AL
Faculty/Staff Nominations
Faculty and staff are welcome to nominate a student they feel is equipped for the VALUE program. Leadership Programs will then reach out to students and encourage them to apply.
*Success in the VALUE program relies heavily on the two Advanced Leadership Labs, courses presented in a seminar format. The peer-to-peer interaction associated with the Advanced Leadership Labs reinforces the skills of collaboration and operations in organizations. It allows students to engage with each other academically and personally as they progress through the program. If you are an online student at FHSU, you must be willing to attend class via Zoom Tuesdays and Thursdays from Noon - 1:15 Central Time every week throughout the fall and spring semesters of the program. Individual arrangements should be discussed with the instructor. For instance, you cannot attend class.
**Only 8-10 students are selected annually for the VALUE program.
