Abstract
The 2008 presidential election gave the nation not only its first Black president but also a new vision of leadership. Campaigning on the promise of change and a message of hope, Barack Obama won the hearts of a people, especially the young. College students of today and tomorrow can look to Obama’s example for a new model of character and for effective approaches to leadership, diversity, power, and privilege. The lessons they learn, with the help of student affairs professionals who mentor them, with help them transform the hope Obama espouses into a new reality.
