Students from the NDSU Masters of Success leadership program are scheduled to unveil a publication created in partnership with local magazine publisher Spotlight Media Wednesday, April 29, from 5 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., at the Memorial Union Great Plains Ballroom.

The student-created publication highlights non-traditional leaders across the state. This year’s 26 Masters of Success student participants each contributed content for the publication as part of the program’s requirements. Several thousand copies of the publication will be published and distributed throughout the region in June.

The unveiling of the publication will precede the program’s closing ceremony, where students will be celebrated for their successful partnership with Spotlight Media. A winning team for the program’s leadership contest also will be announced at the ceremony. 

Masters of Success is a reality-based leadership experience that allows students to work in conjunction with a major company to resolve a current leadership or management challenge. Students are divided into teams to develop a viable solution that can be quickly implemented and tested by the company.

The program is based on research conducted by program facilitators Steve Winfrey, director of the Memorial Union, and Matt Skoy, associate director of student activities.
