Abstract: (6 Views)
Leadership education plays a critical role in college student development, yet existing curricula often reflect Eurocentric theories that fail to account for the diverse lived experiences of Hispanic students. This paper examines the gaps in leadership education by exploring how Hispanic students develop their leadership identity and the barriers they face within existing programs. Drawing from research on leadership development, intersectionality, and cultural influences, we argue that leadership education must move beyond traditional models to embrace culturally inclusive frameworks that reflect Hispanic students’ values, such as community engagement, relational leadership, and familismo. The underrepresentation of Hispanic students in leadership programming, along with systemic inequities in higher education, underscores the need for institutions to intentionally center Hispanic voices in leadership curricula. By integrating culturally responsive leadership education, colleges and universities can enhance Hispanic student success, foster inclusive leadership development, and contribute to more equitable institutional practices. This paper provides implications for higher education leaders, faculty, and administrators to implement leadership programs that recognize and uplift Hispanic students’ unique perspectives and contributions.
