                 LEADERSHIP AT KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY

 Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, I wish today to applaud my alma 
mater, Kansas State University, and three of its students. Recently, 
three Kansas State University students and a student from the 
University of Delaware teamed up to win first place in a student case 
study competition at the ninth annual International Leadership 
Association conference in Vancouver, British Columbia.
  Members of the winning team from Kansas State were Chance Lee, senior 
in sociology and political science with a minor in leadership studies, 
Manhattan, KS; Lauren Luhrs, senior in human ecology and mass 
communications-public relations with minors in leadership studies and 
business, Overland Park, KS; and Anthony Carter, senior in sociology 
with a minor in nonprofit leadership, Colorado Springs, CO.
  The Leadership Studies Minor at Kansas State University has been a 
tremendous success. The mission of the Leadership Studies at Kansas 
State University is to develop knowledgeable, ethical, caring, 
inclusive leaders for a diverse and changing world. Mr. President, this 
program is doing just that. I am proud of this program, my alma matter, 
and the three students who represented Kansas State University so well.
  In the competition participating teams were given a 23-page document 
from the Harvard Business School which detailed specifics for 
leadership development at Goldman Sachs. The document provided key 
details for the case study, including the purpose of the leadership 
development program to be created. It also gave six factors that were 
essential in the design of the program: form and location, faculty, 
content and format, method, target audience, and governance and 
sponsorship.
  I again congratulate these three students for their success.
