It is because of this commitment that the Staley School of Leadership Studies, in partnership with K-State Athletics, is thrilled to offer the Snyder Leadership Legacy Fellows program, a leadership development program that continues Coach’s leadership legacy.

The eighth cohort of Snyder Fellows will participate in a variety of leadership development activities to help prepare for the transition from college and for engagement as lifelong leaders:

  • Participate in a leadership development program rooted in Coach Snyder’s 16 Goals for Success
  • Attend a retreat focused on goal setting and leadership development
  • Take part in exclusive personal and professional development events with successful athletes, scholars, and business leaders throughout the year
  • Participate in leadership dialogues with Coach Snyder
  • Engage in one-on-one leadership coaching sessions with Staley School faculty members, community members, and former Fellows through the critical transition from college to career
  • Mentor youth in the Manhattan community with a group of Fellows, through youth sports coaching in partnership with the Manhattan Parks and Recreation Department
  • Make a difference on campus and in the community through hands-on service and mentoring activities
  • Join the network of Snyder Fellows alumni dedicated to forming long-lasting impact

All applications must be submitted by noon Feb. 18. For more information on the Snyder Leadership Legacy Fellows program, visit the website or contact program director Kaitlin Long at snyderfellows@ksu.edu.
