Our ultimate goal is to facilitate positive individual, organizational and societal change, engaged citizenship, and socially responsible leadership.
As a center for leadership development on Dominican campus, we act as a consortium of faculty and students with businesses and community leaders committed to providing leadership development and practice opportunities.
Through leadership education and training, research and consulting services, public forums and community service projects, we serve individuals and organizations both locally and globally, as well as the Dominican University of California community.
The mission of the Dominican Institute for Leadership Studies (ILS) is to help students, faculty, staff and community members become better leaders. We advance our mission by promoting the study, teaching, and practice of effective, ethical leadership.
