Mission

Mission
The Emerging Leader Program (ELP) is a structured, self-paced program designed to strengthen your leadership knowledge and skills. ELP is a dynamic leadership development program that emphasizes leadership being a life-long journey involving self-discovery, collaborative relationships, and empowering community.

After completing the program, you will receive a notation on your academic transcript; an official leadership transcript; an ELP medal and certificate at the annual awards banquet; and the ELP service pin. Perhaps more importantly, you will have further developed the qualities and skills that are needed to be successful, to create a better community, to empower others, and to leave a positive legacy.

The model that we use for the program is based on a philosophy that divides leadership into four distinct, interconnected spheres. These spheres are Self Discovery, Collaborative Relationships, Empowering Community, and Leadership.
