MISSION: To inspire emerging adults in their late teens and twenties to become strong leaders and managers of their own lives by helping them to find the clarity, confidence and determination they will need to achieve success and fulfillment in college and in their careers and personal lives.

2) An improved sense of future direction as evidenced by a written Lifework Strategic Plan. (A document that includes long and short term goals and objectives complete with action steps etc.)
3) A better understanding of personality style as evidenced by an interpretive report on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment.
4) A clear understanding of vocational interests as evidenced by an interpretive report on the Strong Vocational Interest test.
5) A strong positive reaction to the benefit of the institute as evidenced by the results of pre and post institute surveys.

VALUE ADDED: As a result of the ELI participants will:
