The Emerging Leaders Model (ELM) is a program sponsored by the Donald V. Adams Leadership Institute. ELM is a six-week program designed to provide first-year students the opportunity to develop their personal vision of leadership, learn about leadership at Drake, and connect with current student leaders and other first-year students. The program involves attending staff-led, weekly workshops that will help you develop leadership skills through interactive activities and discussions. The completion of the ELM program will serve as a foundation for future leadership positions on campus, in the community, and beyond.

This fall, ELM will take place weekly from Sept. 29 through Nov. 11. If you are interested in participating, please attend one of our informational sessions this week. All info sessions take place in Olmsted 132 (across from Underground Fitness):

Tuesday, Sept. 22
4–5 p.m.

Wednesday, Sept. 23
4–5 p.m.

You can register for the program prior to the information sessions (though you are encouraged to attend a session for specific program details). Register by Sept. 25.

If you have any questions, please email Student Leadership Coordinator Shelby Derrick at shelby.derrick@drake.edu.
