About the Frank McKenna Centre

Who are we

In keeping with StFX’s commitment to social justice and socially engaged education, the Frank McKenna Centre for Leadership champions courageous ideas, fosters pioneering solutions, and supports socially engaged, transformative research and education. We believe that every student has the capacity to become a leader.

Our goal is to provide the skills and support for students to engage with university life beyond the classroom, and to assist students in the development of bold, innovative, and creative solutions to the most pressing problems of our time. 

 

 

What Sets us apart

We do not limit our idea of leadership training to specialized, small groups. We understand leadership training as an integral part of StFX’s commitment to providing all students who strive to make a difference in the world and who wish to create change in their chosen fields with the skills and tools that they need to become future leaders.

We understand that leadership comes in many forms, and we strive to support and empower not only traditional leaders but also those students who would not readily think of themselves as leaders, and are quietly brimming with potential and brilliant ideas.

"If you have a great university, it can reach across the world. The Frank McKenna Centre for Leadership will have that impact"
