The goals of the LENS are fourfold:
- Networking/making authentic connections with other leadership educators to support collaboration and resource sharing outside of the annual summit
- Keeping each other informed on the biggest issues facing our campuses as they relate to leadership education in order to help Big Ten campuses stay relevant and informed
- Leveraging knowledge production and resources in order to support the positive evolution of the field
- Bridging the gap between Student Affairs and Academic departments by having a campus representative from each area attend as a campus team and work together toward shred campus goals
