West Point’s primary vehicle for influencing leadership development is the West Point Leadership Center, an academic center responsible for leadership development, practice, and research.
The center strengthens the leadership development provided to all West Point cadets through a range of initiatives, instilling new knowledge that expands leaders’ understanding of the world and human and organizational behavior and facilitating coaching, mentoring, and reflection.
The Leadership Center concentrates on Character, Leadership Development, Innovation and Entrepreneurship and aims to advance and nurture responsible leadership development within West Point, the Army, government entities, educational institutions, and corporations.

“My experience with the West Point Negotiation Project has been phenomenal. Through my involvement with the program, I have gained valuable knowledge and skills that are equally applicable to both military and civilian life. The opportunity to represent West Point at the 2021 National Undergraduate Negotiation Competition and take home a Top Negotiator award was very rewarding and a great way to practice what I’ve learned from West Point’s negotiation program.”
William “Bill” Porter, Class of 2022
