E-Lead selects new student cohort
The Opus College of Engineering is proud to announce the selection of a new cohort for the Engineers in the Lead (E-Lead) program. The group of 20 sophomore students kicked-off the program with a week at the LeaderShape Institute in Lake Geneva, Wis., along with students from the Diederich College of Communication and the College of Business Administration.
E-Lead offers students the opportunity to build on their technical skills and develop their capacity to lead people and teams. Through a curriculum rooted in the Jesuit tradition, E-Leaders learn to guide change, solve problems and serve others. Students apply in their sophomore year, earning a Concentration in Engineering Leadership upon graduation.
