SPONSORING ORGANIZATIONS

The Centre for the Study of Leadership and Ethics was originally established as a University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA) Program Center in June 1996. This was a joint venture by faculty at two universities, OISE / UT in Toronto and the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. The Centre is devoted to the support, promotion and dissemination of theory and research on values and leadership. In September 2003 the Centre was officially relocated to the Department of Education Policy Studies at Pennsylvania State University, while maintaining the University of Virginia affiliation. In 2009 the Centre is located at the Faculty of Education, Nipissing University.
