Learning to Lead Summer Institute

The Learning to Lead Summer Institute is an intensive leadership experience that helps students enhance their abilities through classes, seminars and practical experience. Students selected for the program will spend the summer in Washington, DC, interning with various government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and businesses. In addition to the internship, participants will take a course through our program partner, the Washington Center. Students may receive up to 6 credit hours for successful completion of the summer program. Applicants must:

• Be currently enrolled at WIU
• Have at least a 2.8 cumulative GPA
• Have completed at least 60 hours prior by the end of the Spring Semester prior to attending the institute
• Enroll in and successfully complete the Leadership 101 course (RPTA 490)

The 2008 and 2009 Summer Institutes are open to all students who meet the above requirements. After the 2009 session, applicants will have to have participated in the Learning to Lead Scholars Program to be eligible for the institute. View application information.
