ELP helped me grow immensely as a leader and connect with so many amazing people and resources. I also got an amazing opportunity to positively impact others in the community.

Especially as a first-year student, this program is valuable in terms of making connections and allowing this campus to feel like home. I have met so many students and gained valuable advice from student leaders, mentors, and even professionals in my field of study. This was a great experience to develop my skills.
