Current students and graduates of the E-Lead Program are making an impact in many ways
The Excellence in Leadership (E-Lead) Program was created to prepare undergraduate students for the leadership and innovation challenges they would face in their professions, and industry partners are taking notice. Our program graduates go into the workplace with strong interpersonal skills such as demonstrating empathy, seeking constructive feedback from others, encouraging behaviors that foster healthy teams, and creating spaces where team members are comfortable sharing their perspectives. Alumni of the program aren’t just leading in their fields as engineers, lawyers, or nurses, but as people in their communities.
