Emerging Leaders Model (ELM) is a seven-week series of workshops for first-year students designed as a foundation for future leadership on campus, in the community, and beyond. Becoming an Emerging Leader is a great way to get acquainted with the endless opportunities for meaningful involvement at Drake. The program meets for one hour each week for seven weeks in a small group setting with a staff and upper-class student facilitator. Here are seven great reasons why you don’t want to miss out:
- ELM offers a jump start to leadership at Drake, equipping you with the tools and skills you need to dive into leadership and involvement in the college setting.
- You’ll be in a small group creating connections with other students who are also interested in leadership, and you’ll leave the program with more connections.
- Each week, you’ll meet different upper-class student leaders who will share about their experience and give valuable advice as you start in leadership at Drake.
- You’ll be invited to a lunch off campus with Donald V. Adams, the man who is the inspiration for the whole institute.
- You’ll leave the program with a vision statement, ‘futurerésumé,’ and action steps to reach your leadership goals at Drake.
- ELM will empower you to take on leadership roles, opens the door to many future opportunities, and can boost your résumé!
- It’s free, thanks to alumni who care about your development as our future leaders!
ELM will be offered Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 3 to 4 p.m. or 4 to 5 p.m. starting the week of Sept. 26. The deadline to register is Friday, Sept. 23; apply here: http://bit.ly/ELMFall16
