LEADERSHIP ACADEMY 2016/2017 YEAR IN REVIEW

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING 2

Letter from The Director

The third year of the Leadership Academy brought

expanded realization of our tremendous talent pipeline,

with enrollment eclipsing 200 and the number of

graduates growing exponentially. This summary for

2016/2017 offers a glimpse of the past year—numbers,

activities, a few highlights, and a Save the Date for our

kickoff Summit this fall (Oct 28th, 2017).

The Academy has quickly become a recognized force for

the acceleration of leadership potential. Current

members and new alumni are sought after for highly-

competitive internships and professional roles.

Along with delivering on our objective to empower

graduates with essential leadership skills, we are now

being looked to by others interested in learning from us.

An exciting example of this is a presentation on our

program at the International Leadership Association’s

2017 Global Conference this fall in Brussels, Belgium.

We will not rest on our success, and are moving forward

with several program enhancements to make the

Academy even more accessible, scalable, and integrative

to the student experience.

I am excited to continue this extraordinary trajectory

with all of you. As always, thanks for your continued

involvement and support!

Go Beavs!

Scott Paja, Director
