Leadership, according to “The Future of Leadership” (2001), isn’t a place; it’s a process. The
Institute for Leadership Education and Development (I-LEAD®) is designed to emphasize the
key concept area of leadership, community development, and change during this time of
uncertainty within our world.
I-LEAD® offers an opportunity for the leaders of tomorrow to focus on personal growth and
pertinent issues facing our world. The institute maximizes the potential of the student-staff
partnership model by creating educational student-student and student-professional
interactions.
I-LEAD® is an intensive, live-in, learning experience. I-LEAD® is an institute, not a conference.
As an institute, the program offers a unified curriculum to all participants. The curriculum is
grounded by “The Role of the College Union” statement and the I-LEAD® values: inclusion,
shared vision, risk taking, collaboration, celebration, human dignity, community building, and
integrity.
