| Each semester 25 emerging leaders from the freshman and sophomore classes are selected to participate in a 3-credit hour pass/fail class geared toward developing their leadership skills and campus involvement. The UK Emerging Leader Institute is designed to allow students the opportunity to analyze and develop their leadership potential while enhancing their abilities in the areas of critical and creative thinking strategies, communication, understanding ethical decision making, goal setting, and cultural diversity. |

 |
|
| Institute participants will be selected on the basis of their co-curricular involvements, leadership experience, and personal statements. Due to the high level of involvement required in the Institute, a minimum grade point average of 2.5 is recommended for applicants. |

| "...the Emerging Leader Institute has changed who I am as a person and how I lead and interact with others. I am more considerate, cautious, and reflective. I was able to
meet many people and learn from some of the best at UK." - Daniel Turner
"It's not every day that you are able to truly look forward to going to a class with the confidence that you will in some way be enlightened." - Jenny Priddy "I guess I am trying to say that ELI has given me some sort of drive to change the world I live in, along with the confidence that I can make that change." - DJ Geddes "I left my program that night more resolved than ever that I was going to continue working with women issues; I feel that it is my place as a young women, as a young leader, to help someone else see the beauty in herself." - Julie Murray "I am a bottom line type person. The bottom line for me is that ELI has put me one step closer to achieving my goals. Not just because it will look good on my transcript or because I will have recommendations from the leaders involved, but because it challenged me to think differently and pursue areas that I did not even consider before." - Jaclyn Minch "The skills that I have learned in ELI will never be forgotten, and, in the back of my head, I will always hear a voice saying, 'look for a better way- search for improvement. Strive for growth.'" - Kara Kirtley |
