The first female president of the United States was sitting in the Towers Social Room last week. She said so herself. That empowerment is the ability to bring forth potential in others, which is exactly what the Institute aims to do. The Leadership Institute is a pre-collegiate program designed to help young people reach their personal, academic and career goals, Hallatt said. What happens to them is up to them.
Life is full of choices.
The institute is run through UW-Eau Claire College of Business Center for Leadership. The Center is comprised of programs and seminars for middle to high school students, leadership development courses offered within the College of Business and professional development programs and services directed toward the business community. Funding comes from the participants, scholarships from various corporations and schools, and the Department of Public Instruction. It also has been recognized for its work with at-risk students from inner cities and rural areas. Participants have jam-packed days full of interactive group activities, learning and fun.
