Vision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tarleton L.I.F.E. offers a foundational knowledge of Tarleton upon which participants can base future contributions to the University\u2019s mission and vision. Participants are introduced to a broad range of topics which include Leading by example, Investing in our future, Fostering innovative ideas, and Engaging in campus activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarleton L.I.F.E. is about leadership, innovation, fostering ideas and engaging with the university. Twelve to fifteen leaders are selected by their Vice Presidents to participate in a 9-month intensive training with various topics ranging from emotional intelligence to civic engagement and involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants also experience and learn about areas of the university in-depth which broadens their knowledge about how their areas affect all aspects of university life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
