Tillman Leadership Through Action
Pat Tillman was a man of amazing passion, heroic character, and deliberate action — a man who knew himself and his mission, and who challenged those around him. The Pat Tillman Foundation and W. P. Carey School of Business carry forward Pat's legacy by inspiring and supporting exceptional students who strive to promote positive change in themselves and the world around them.
This distinctive educational experience brings students, faculty, and community leaders together in discussions and exercises that generate a greater sense of self and purpose, enhance leadership skills and perspective, and actively promote positive change in their communities.
