Each day is filled with learning, fun, and fulfillment.

 

Day 1 - Connect

The Institute begins with a welcome session to introduce you to the program. You will meet the Leadership Institute staff and be introduced to your team. Each team will be lead by a trained student facilitator. Team members connect with one another through personal experiences and often become close friends.

Activities provide a glimpse of college life and are designed to help you open up and show the world what you have to offer. The day ends with a unique group activity and discussion.

At the Leadership Institute, you experience what life is like on a college campus. You use the same meeting rooms, dormitory, dining hall and recreational facilities UW-Eau Claire students use. You will have a chance to tour the campus and see classrooms, computer labs and other academic facilities. All facilities are accessible to students with special needs.

You will live in Towers Residence Hall. Rooms are fully furnished and bedding is provided. The building is security locked every night. A Leadership Institute student facilitator lives on each hall wing of your dorm. He/she is available to answer any questions or concerns you may have. An adult, professionally trained hall director also lives in the dormitory. He/she oversees all dorm activities and is trained to handle any emergency.
