The students who have been accepted into the Four Star Leadership program are:
“We are excited that these students have chosen Four Star Leadership to assist them in further developing their leadership capabilities,” said Gen. Tommy Franks (Ret.). “It’s truly an honor to work with the top students from around the world and assist them in achieving their long-term goals.”
Four Star Leadership with General Tommy Franks is a partnership between the General Tommy Franks Leadership Institute and Museum and Oklahoma Christian University. During the program, students will learn leadership techniques and skills from frontrunners and influential leaders in various fields. Toward the conclusion of the week-long program, attendees will expand upon their skills through a persuasive speech and writing competition as well as collaboratively in an ethics bowl competition.

Program curriculum is designed around the four core principles that led Gen. Tommy Franks (Ret.) through his 38-year military career: character, common vision, communication and caring. The opportunity is valued at more than $4,000 per student and is offered at no cost to selected students, including expenses, travel and programming.
Since 2008, Four Star Leadership has welcomed more than 700 U.S. high school students from 48 different states and 49 international students. For more information on Four Star Leadership, visit FourStarLeader.com or call (580) 726-5900.
