"I thought the best things about Emerging Leaders were the Retreat at Mo-Ranch and the assignments that forced the teams to work together towards a common goal and success. All in all, I think it gives young students a strong support system, especially from their peers that they can rely on for the rest of their time at UIW."
-Dr. Clark, Faculty Mentor
