This book focuses on the issue of holistic development of university students. It takes a specific focus on the developmental needs of the students and the importance of the development of twenty-first-century skills, as well as well-being, leadership, and civic engagement in university students. Drawing from the case study of the “Leadership Education and Development” (LEAD) program in Hong Kong, the author outlines existing theories, research findings, and best practices in the promotion of university students' development. Particularly relevant to social scientists and practitioners in higher education settings, not only in Hong Kong and China, but beyond, this book is a pioneer and substantial contribution to the fields of youth studies, positive psychology, quality of life and well-being.
