15 Years of Leadership

During the 2017-2018 academic year, we celebrated 15 years of the Illinois Leadership Center! We have been able to do some amazing things these past 15 years! Some of the highlights include:

Nearly 800 students have completed the Leadership Certificate Program
Over 14,000 attended i-Programs
More than 22,000 attended a leadership workshop
67 students served as Graf Interns
Some 1,500 faculty, staff, alumni, and community members have helped to build Illini Leaders as facilitators or Certificate Coaches

We are proud to have impacted so many in the pursuit of helping to build better leaders! We celebrated these accomplishments in conjunction with the University's sesquicentennial (150 years anniversary of the University) and the Campaign for Illinois by counting down 15 reasons to celebrate the Illinois Leadership Center.
