Abstract: The Congress of Graduate Students at Florida State University is an example of how the facilitation of graduate student government opportunities allow for the development of leadership and followership within graduate students. While scholarship has focused on how leadership learning can be facilitated through student government for undergraduate students, graduate student development should not be overlooked. This scholarship-to-practice brief will provide an overview of the Congress of Graduate Students under the Office of Student Governance and Advocacy, how theories on advising and leadership facilitate graduate student understandings of leadership and followership, and give recommendations on how other programs can work to encourage the development of leadership within graduate students through student government participation.
