Find out what some of our leadership program graduates have to say:
[The program] helped me to realize my dream of excelling both academically and professionally. It prompted me to think about my future and to decide if I wanted to stay where I was or to move out of my comfort zone to new and exciting things. My life has been snowballing since graduating!
—Keeva Scrivner, Aspiring Leader Program graduate
… the requirements for the NLP program make you look at your goals. If a student who is attending the NLP will look at the requirements and say “Okay, how can doing this help me?” then it really will help you.
—Viola Beem, New Leader Program graduate
For me, the ELP just solidified the idea that we all have such diverse ways of leading—and we’re all leaders. You don’t have to be an extrovert to lead. You don’t have to be an absolute despot—you can lead quietly. It taught me the different angles, the different ways people lead.
—Apryl Sanchez-Stevens, Executive Leadership Program graduate
By participating in the ELP, I was hoping to discover a new side of myself. I know life is a constant learning process but one thing I thought of when I thought of great leaders was: They’re already there. They made it. What I’ve learned is that great leaders are great learners. They’re continually learning, and what leading is all about is learning. We’re always on this journey. This experience was just a great example of what a great leader should be doing.
