Through the ELPS program, wefocus more intentionally on the development of a leadership plan. Students are encouraged towork with their ELPS faculty mentor to develop a plan to advance themselves in variousleadership skills. We have supported this development using self-assessment with the MBTI(Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) questionnaire with followed by workshops with Career Centerpersonnel, sharing of opportunities both on and off-campus with students and encouraging themto participate, one-on-one connections, and mentoring to help students assess and develop theirskills.One of

An ideal research program for students begins at junior level. At this stage, studentsexplore possibilities in research under supervision of the faculty advisor. They learn keycomponents of research and proposal development through general studies, attendingpresentations, and helping senior students. Junior students meet the faculty advisor once a monthto discuss their research interests as well as academic and career goals. As students makeprogress toward senior status, they begin writing proposals on selected topics
