Greenleaf Center Programs
The Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership at Seton Hall University provides individuals with opportunities from its five core programs.

Greenleaf Scholars
The purpose of the Greenleaf Scholars program is to identify and support promising pre-tenured faculty, early career practitioners, and advanced graduate students who wish to study the value and impact of servant leadership in a wide range of organizational or social environments. A signature effort of the Center since 2009, Scholars are selected annually from a national applicant pool.
Coffee with Webinar Series

The range of speakers invited from a variety of sectors helps to deepen our understanding of the promise of servant leadership’s impact on individuals and organizations. Sessions in the past have addressed servant leadership and the transformation of organizational culture, climate change, health equity, and responsive policing.
