| The Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President at Seton Hall University is pleased to announce the launch of the new Buccino Leadership Institute, a first-of-its-kind interdisciplinary program designed to develop undergraduates from a wide array of academic majors to become the next generation of leaders. |
| The Buccino Institute’s innovative four-year certificate program focuses on purposeful and strategic development of critical competencies, or pillars, of leadership development: character, civic engagement, change management, ceaselessness, collaboration, conflict management and courageous communication. Infused by Catholic ideals, the program will develop students into effective leaders who have a positive impact on society. The Institute is the first interdisciplinary undergraduate leadership program of its kind in the United States and one of only a few undergraduate programs that develop core competencies in specific pillars. |
| The program breaks down barriers between academic disciplines, enabling participants to develop these critical leadership pillars and complement their majors and career goals. The Buccino Leadership Institute has established distinctive leadership centers in the University’s College of Arts and Sciences, College of Communication and the Arts, College of Education and Human Services, College of Nursing, School of Diplomacy and International Relations, and Stillman School of Business. Each college or school will oversee a specific pillar based on the philosophy and work of that academic discipline. |
| Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Bryan C. Price, Ph.D., one the nation’s top leadership experts, has been appointed to serve as the Buccino Leadership Institute’s founding executive director. Dr. Price’s career is steeped in more than 20 years of distinguished leadership experience. His military career has involved serving at multiple levels of command, ranging from leading combat troops in Iraq and Afghanistan to serving as an associate professor in the Department of Social Sciences and director of the Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. Military Academy. Dr. Price earned a B.S. in U.S. history from West Point, an M.A. in international relations from St. Mary’s University, and an M.A. and a Ph.D. in political science from Stanford University. His new book, Targeting Top Terrorists, is scheduled for publication this year by Columbia University Press. |
| The Buccino Leadership Institute was officially launched this fall and 83 high-caliber students from around the globe were selected for the inaugural class. Over the next four years, the student cohort will attend weekly leadership science classes, work with mentors, receive one-on-one coaching by certified leadership professionals, and take part in a variety of workshops, internships and field trips highlighting leadership in the real world. |
| The Stillman School of Business has devoted more than 20 years to leadership development for its business students, including its highly successful Buccino Center for Leadership Development, which served as the catalyst for the new Institute. The Buccino Center was named the top leadership program of its kind in the nation for the past four years by HR.com. Special recognition goes to Michael Reuter, who has done an outstanding job of shepherding the former Buccino Center for the past 11years. Professor Reuter will continue his work as the director of the new Stillman Leadership Center, which is now part of the Buccino Leadership Institute. |
| The Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President at Seton Hall University is pleased to announce the launch of the new Buccino Leadership Institute, a first-of-its-kind interdisciplinary program designed to develop undergraduates from a wide array of academic majors to become the next generation of leaders. |
| The new Institute is named in honor of Seton Hall alumnus Gerald P. Buccino ’63, founder of Buccino & Associates and a global visionary in the turnaround management profession, who has provided generous financial support to the University. In addition, Dr. Buccino has personally mentored numerous Seton Hall students in the Stillman leadership program over the past 20 years. |
