Developing Leaders

Developing LeadersLearning to Lead. Leading to Serve.

At its core, innovation is about the leaders driving change. Taking a step beyond managing others, innovation leaders mobilize people to think creatively, act boldly and deliver value-producing solutions that answer some of the world's grand challenges.

At Innovation Alley, we're experts in developing the whole person so that our students - from undergraduates to working professionals - can go on to lead oneself, lead others and lead the technology and innovation that will change our world. 

 For students 

E-Lead

Excellence in Leadership (E-Lead) is a curricular innovation leadership development program for undergraduate students across the disciplines at Marquette. Through a curriculum rooted in the Jesuit tradition, E-Leaders progress through a three-year program focused on leading oneself, leading with others and leading innovation. Students apply in their sophomore year, earning academic credit for their classroom and experiential innovation leadership learning.
