“We are excited that these students have chosen Four Star Leadership to assist them in increasing their leadership capabilities,” said retired Gen. Tommy Franks. “It’s truly an honor to work with some of 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 have an opportunity to learn leadership techniques from frontrunners in various fields. Politicians, dignitaries and star athletes are some of the national and international leaders who have offered their expertise to previous years’ leadership programs. Toward the conclusion of the week-long program, attendees will have the opportunity to expand upon their skills through a persuasive speech and writing competition as well as collaboratively in an Ethics Bowl tournament.
 
Attendees will have the opportunity to earn more than $30,000 in scholarships as well as gain internships and receive letters of recommendation.

Program curriculum is designed around the four core principles that led now-retired Gen. Tommy Franks through his 38-year military career: character, common vision, communication and caring. The program is free for accepted students. For more information on the program or accepted applicants, visit FourStarLeader.com.
