Since inception 15years ago, the LDP has a 100 percent post-graduation placement rate. Included in this statisticare the graduates that elect to continue their graduate studies. The Pathways to STEM Leadership(PSL), an NSF S-STEM project at SIU, provides scholarships to support STEM majors’ successin the LPD. Now in its sixth year, the PSL project examines the impact early S-STEM leadershiptraining produces on transformational technical leadership in its graduates.
