Is you question about college students having leadership roles within the college community or is it about preparing college students to be good leaders when they go out into the world?
We are doing a deep dive on the latter - go to https://blog.grli.org/grli-leadership-deep-dive/ for more information and registration
What do you mean by researching student leadership in an organization and influencing campus progress?
It can be seen from the phenomenon that students also have an important role in the change and progress of the organization/campus, where the higher the student leadership, the better the reputation/development of the campus.
I suggest conducting a thorough literature review to understand the current state of research in the field of leadership that college students can study. Identify gaps, controversies, and areas where more research is needed. Consider interdisciplinary approaches by integrating concepts from psychology, sociology, education, or other relevant fields. This can enrich your research and provide a broader perspective.
