About the LDC
The Leadership Development Center ("LDC") is a comprehensive leadership training resource that provides services to emerging and established student leaders. Our services are intentionally broad to serve students with a wide variety of leadership interests and objectives. Student leaders are encouraged to pursue other departmental, campus and community leadership opportunities in conjunction with their participation in the Leadership Development Center.
Funding for the LDC
The UCSB Leadership Development Center is supported by the Student Life Fee, the Students' Initiative Fee and generous private benefactors.
If you are interested in supporting the Leadership Development Center, please contact our staff directly or contact Laurie Hoyle, Executive Director of Student Affairs Grants and Development, by telephone at (805) 893-5037 or by email at laurie.hoyle@sa.ucsb.edu.
LDC Branding
The logo for the Leadership Development Center demonstrates the widespread impact of effective leadership by individuals and groups who are personally committed to their values and goals. The ripples on the surface of the water remind us that we—as individuals and communities—can effect tremendous changes in the world that we inhabit. The logo and icons for the Leadership Development Center were created in 2008 with The Lily Guild in Santa Barbara, CA.
