Jepson School of Leadership Studies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Founded in 1992 at the University of Richmond, the Jepson School of Leadership Studies is dedicated to the academic study of leadership. The school is named for Robert S. Jepson, Jr., a successful businessman who made a $20 million gift to establish the school. Jepson students, who must apply in their second year of college for admission to the school, study a rigorous cross-disciplinary curriculum that focuses on moral leadership and service to society. Graduating students of the Jepson School, housed in Jepson Hall, receive a bachelor of arts in leadership studies. James MacGregor Burns, a noted presidential biographer and authority on leadership studies, has served as a founding advisor and visiting scholar at the school.
