ECC Student Leadership Institute / HACU 2018 Conference
Alumni Spotlight: ECC Grad Guided by Project Success

 

Two dozen ECC students were able to attend a conference in Atlanta earlier this month through a new training program that builds and enhances student leadership skills. El Camino College launched the Student Leadership Institute (SLI) this fall, with 24 SLI students selected to attend the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) conference in Atlanta from Oct 5-9. HACU is an international organization with over 470 colleges and universities from the U.S., Puerto Rico, Latin America and Spain that are committed to the higher education and success of Latino/Hispanic students.

SLI students are nominated by faculty and/or staff members from various student support programs on campus. Selected students have shown a consistent involvement on campus and potential and willingness to foster leadership skills. During the institute, students refine their resume, learn the importance of dressing for success, improve their networking skills and polish their dining etiquette. Students also have access to workshops and conferences. At the HACU conference, students had the opportunity to implement skills learned through the SLI and network with employers, representatives from four-year institutions, and other professionals. They also attended workshops covering topics such as career and leadership skills, taking advantage of employment and educational opportunities, and working in the federal, corporate and nonprofit sector.
