The Frank K. Ross Leadership Institute

Program Overview

The Frank K. Ross Leadership Institute is a 1-day leadership workshop that goes beyond basic professional development skills. Students have the opportunity to learn how to succeed in corporate America through sessions that are designed to enhance their leadership skills and allow them to explore who they are as an individual and understand how to envision success.

We urge all participating students to take advantage of this opportunity that will allow them to network with professionals while obtaining tips on building their brand and further developing leadership skills.
