April 2019 Connections

The Friday and Saturday mornings of Scholars Weekend, the new Scholars participated in the Leadership Development Institute – an opportunity designed exclusively for Coca-Cola Scholars.

In this experience, 5 new Scholars are paired with a trained Coke Scholar alumni facilitator to explore an inside-out leadership concept through small and large group work. The idea is that better understanding themselves will empower them to be even more effective leaders.

Many thanks to this year’s Leadership Development Institute alumni facilitators!
