Abstract

The study revisits the Religare student leadership program of the University of the Assumption, examining its historical themes from Academic Years 2005–2006 to 2019–2020 to guide in the development of a leadership training design. Using secondary data from souvenir programs and accomplishment reports of UACSC presidents, the study employed thematic analysis to identify recurring leadership concepts, values, and competencies embedded in program implementation. Findings revealed a progression from foundational leadership and team-building activities to values-driven, servant-oriented, and globally conscious leadership themes. The analysis further highlighted implicit alignments with Astin’s Theory of Student Involvement, Kouzes and Posner’s Leadership Challenge, and Greenleaf’s Servant Leadership Theory, demonstrating the program’s potential for systematic leadership formation. Based on these insights, a structured and scaffolded leadership training design is proposed, integrating experiential learning, behavioral competencies, and values-based development to enhance student leadership across multiple levels.
