Emerging Leaders Program

The Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) began in the fall of 2006 and has since served over 150 students.  ELP is a leadership development program that prepares Latino high school students for college through workshops that include university campus visits, field trips, and interaction with young, professional mentors.  Students also have the opportunity to apply for an ELP scholarship at successful completion of the program.
