This study examined the school counselor leadership perceptions and practices of graduates from a large Midwestern University. Specifically, this study examined how, and if, participation in The Ohio State University Transforming School Counseling Initiative (OSU-TSCI) program influenced graduates’ leadership perceptions and practices Qualitative research procedures were used to collect data and analyze findings. The purposeful non-random sample consisted of 19 graduates from the program. Field notes, structured individual interviews and a focus group provided the sources for data collection. A research team knowledgeable in qualitative research analyzed the data using assumptions of grounded theory procedures. Four major themes emerged and multiple sub-themes emerged. Findings indicated that participation in the OSU-TSCI program resulted in leadership perceptions and practices that brought about positive change in counseling services for the K-12 students the participants served.
