Institutions of higher education espouse the importance of developing future leaders, although limited research assesses undergraduate leadership programs from the alumni lens. Interviews with alumni from a student affairs leadership program revealed the importance of incorporating leadership experiences, learning community, formal learning, peer coaching, and reflection in leadership programming. Alumni valued the program due to skills learned and experiential capital gained. This study provides practitioners with evidence-based practices for leadership program development and highlights the importance of the alumni perspective.
