I-Programs:


January 31st – Ignite
 
“The systems approach we learned at Ignite can be applied to any problem you face. I learned the incredible value of targeting stakeholders and balancing interests so that everyone can win.” – 2010 IGNITE PARTICIPANT, ANONYMOUS
 
February 7th – Intersect
 
Intersect is an amazing program that offers students a chance to develop leadership skills in many different group settings. It taught students the importance of working together and communication through fun challenges and discovering our listening styles. It also allowed us to meet, interact with and learn from many different students.” – SARAH V., ’14 LAS
 
February 21st – Insight
 
Insight identifies your personal themes or talents — those talents that are innate to you so that when you are in groups and practicing behaviors those are the ones that shine through the most, so these are the traits that make you feel strong.”
— PHIL J., ’11 LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS
