From glamour and glitz to graphics and gadgets, popular trends emerge constantly becoming all the rage.  Likewise, emergent trends in social media and mobile devices have spurred on the Selfie trend among the younger generation portraying to the world how they look, where they are, and what they are doing, but not who they are as individuals.  This paper suggests that faculty reach future leaders as undergraduates and discusses how the undergraduate teaching/learning process can initiate a distinguishing, more introspective Selfie framework/process.  The paper considers how faculty can model attributes as authentic leaders who provide learning experiences that elicit awareness in students of self and key areas that characterize authentic leaders.
