Voss Advanced Leadership Undergraduate Experience
VALUE is not currently accepting applications for 2021-2022 academic year.
The Voss Advanced Leadership Undergraduate Experience (VALUE) is designed to develop the most promising undergraduates into powerful agents for good, following their educational experience at Fort Hays State University. The VALUE program is a year-long curricular and co-curricular experience for upper-division students on campus and online. Students will be challenged to embrace and dedicate themselves to deeper individual development. The exclusive learning objectives of the VALUE program which serve as a framework are:
- Operations- To be successful in the leadership process, leaders must be able to move from ideas and concepts to action. They must be able to implement, execute, and transform a vision into reality. Leaders and followers must simply "make it happen."
- Collaboration- Participants in the leadership process must be able to work in a team environment to be successful. Leadership must be able to exercise collaborative skills where all players are involved in the decision-making and implementation phases.

What our students are saying
Rachel Guillot, 2016-17 virtual scholar from Salina, KS, completed a non-profit project titled, Be Kind Salina.

"The VALUE program was an incredible experience for me, stretching my understanding and application of leadership in every area of my life. The class material, KLC conference, my mentor, the professors, and fellow students all proved invaluable to getting my non-profit project successfully launched. I am grateful!" - Rachel Guillot
