I previously participated in the Wartburg High School Leadership Institute, so I thought this program would be very similar. I’m excited to get to know all of my peers and learn about opportunities available in Iowa. By the end of the week, I hope to learn more about my own...

As I was driving to the first day of Leadership Iowa this morning there were many thoughts running thru my head. I was wondering about the types of other students that would be attending and if I would fit in. I was also very curious as to how the process...

I decided that I wanted to try and get into Leadership Iowa University because I had heard about it from a friend, Ria Thompson. I heard about her experiences within the program and I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to grow within my career and to...

At first I was not sure what to expect with the starting time of LIU. I have a hard time being outgoing especially in a crowd of people I do not know and feel inferior to, even if my assumption of inferiority is misconstrued. After the first day of LIU,...

Coming to LIU, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I attended Business Horizons in 2006, so I knew there would be a number of really good speakers throughout the week, but I wasn’t quite sure how LIU would be different. I was definitely interested in going over the Strengths...

Coming up to Leadership Iowa University I honestly had very little idea what I was getting myself into. We weren’t sent an itinerary or a whole lot of information about the experience as a whole, which made it very fun to explain to the parents where exactly I was going...

On the drive out to West Des Moines, I didn’t know what to expect at LIU. I knew there was going to be from fifteen to twenty college students, but I didn’t know who they were or where they were coming from. I was nervous to walk in because, as...

Before I arrived, I expected Leadership Iowa University to be a lot like Business Horizons with advanced content. However, that does not appear to be the case. The class is smaller, and it seems as the interaction will be more personal, therefore, more beneficial. I am here because I wanted...

Well for my first blog attempt I guess I’m just going to dive right in. Coming into Leadership Iowa University, I didn’t know what to expect. I want to learn ways to become a better leader and broaden my horizons on different ways to be a leader, but after the...

My SIFE advisor originally told me about this program in the spring, at which time he was working on it for his sabbatical. I didn’t know what to expect when he told me about the program, and I couldn’t decide if it would be worth the time and money that...

I became a part of Leadership Iowa University through being employed in the department of residence life at Simpson College and being part of the dorm staff during Business Horizons 2010. Since I have recently eclipsed the midway point of my undergraduate education, I have been considering different possible career...

I honestly had no idea what the first day of LIU was going to consist of. I’m glad the planning committee didn’t send out an agenda as to what the day/week would consist of because it kept me on the edge of my seat. I was fortunate enough to carpool...

Why am I here? In addition to the leadership skills and the networking opportunities, I believe this program will give me many different perspectives in the business world here in Iowa. This will allow me to better understand the inner workings of Iowa’s economy and employment which could aid me...

Coming from Iowa City to West Des Moines/Leadership Iowa University was an interesting trip. Without previously having an itinerary it was nearly impossible for me to know what to expect, especially since I have no God-given power to tell the future. In my mind I pictured rows of chairs and...

My expectations for the Leadership Iowa University program were open before I arrived. I didn’t really know a whole lot about the program except I knew it would be beneficial to learn about leadership. After the first day and seeing what we’ll be doing over the next few days, I...

Coming into Leadership Iowa University, I was a bit nervous. I was not too sure of what to expect for the week. The hour and a half drive I had gave me a lot of time to think, but nothing in my head seemed to grasp what was going to...
