Emerging Leaders Institute Learning Outcomes

Participants will:

  • Debate and apply the Alpha Phi values of leadership/service, sisterhood/loyalty, intellectual development, and character development. Through this process they will learn how to lead with authenticity, integrity, and confidence.
  • Practice their leadership skills so they may serve as effective students, leaders, and citizens within their communities. They will frame leadership as an inherently relational process of working together to accomplish a goal or to promote change.
  • Build a strong community of support for their personal self and learn how to create a team committed to common goals.
  • Strengthen effective communication skills so they may create healthy relationships with others.
  • Lead a healthier and more values-grounded life in college and throughout life.
