Woodbury University emphasizes the importance of a variety of experiences and skills that lend to the leadership development of students. Student leaders assume an important role in leading the campus community into the new millennium. A special lunch is hosted by the President every Spring semester once the next year's student leaders have been elected and selected. During this time, a leadership training session is conducted.

Students who develop leadership skills and abilities promote their own personal growth and they tend to leave Woodbury with an overall experience. Leadership development will allow for self-development, improved performance as a campus leader, valuable campus and community contacts, and employment advantage after graduation. Student leadership will also enhance communication among all campus groups, and assist leaders who are prepared to address issues and solve problems.
