The number of continental African college students in U.S. colleges and universities has grown tremendously, making it imperative for their host institutions to understand their unique leadership development needs in order to serve them effectively. This qualitative study examined the pre-college leadership development of African students in U.S. colleges and universities. Four themes that describe the experiences that influenced the leadership development of the participants during their pre-college years emerged from the data: family, church, African cultures, and high school influences. The study is based on a 2006-2007 sample of African students at a mid-size, midwestern U.S. university.
