LEADERSHIP IN ACTION VISION
Empowering First-Generation Success
The vision for the Leadership in Action (LIA) Summer Bridge Program is to transform the lives of first-generation college students by equipping them with essential skills for academic, personal, and professional success. Recognizing these students' unique challenges, the LIA program offers a comprehensive curriculum that integrates academic preparation, financial literacy, resilience training, and leadership development within a supportive community.
Building Resilience and Knowledge
Grounded in theories such as Funds of Knowledge and Resilience Theory, the program addresses academic readiness and fosters emotional intelligence and civic engagement. By integrating hands-on experiences, participants gain practical skills that enhance their confidence and community involvement.
Inspiring Resilient Leaders
With this inclusive approach, the LIA program seeks to inspire students to flourish in their academic journeys and beyond, cultivating a new generation of resilient leaders equipped to contribute positively to their communities and confidently navigate their educational challenges. By fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation, we aim to create pathways that empower students to pursue their dreams and achieve their fullest potential.
