The document proposes an Institute for Academic and Experiential Leadership with four main elements: academic offerings including a leadership minor and capstone course, an experiential component involving industry projects and layered mentoring, non-academic linkages like a national leadership society and industry residency program, and technical support through a collaboratory. It would provide students leadership training through hands-on industry experience, mentoring at different levels, and networking opportunities to help them develop skills and differentiate themselves in their careers.
