Leadership Training Institutes

Through the generosity of Dr. Louis Capozzoli, Jr., Phi '47, the Zeta Psi Educational Foundation presents seminars to teach leadership skills above and beyond what one traditionally learns in school. While the topics change from year to year and from session to session, they traditionally focus on two issues -- how to run a successful business, and how to prepare yourself for life after college.

Our Leadership Training Institutes, or LTIs, are large gatherings of students from many schools. The sessions are broad-based interactive discussions that draw on the experiences of guest lecturers from among alumni, staff, and Greek-life experts. At the spring events, you will spend a Saturday learning about issues like organization finances, risk management, and recruiting -- tools which will continue to be applicable in your future career. Breakout sessions may also offer topics like business-dinner and interviewing etiquette, how to network, how to resolve conflicts, and how to promote teamwork among your classmates.

These efforts culminate with the International LTI that takes place each year as part of our Annual Convention. Dozens of presenters, including influential speakers from the Greek community at-large, offer three days of powerful sessions which will change the way you think about college life, and will challenge you to develop your greatest potential. A strong emphasis is also placed on social activities to develop coherence among all of the participating individuals.

Through these seminars, we will help you learn how to develop your career, with a little fun thrown in for good measure. We hope you will take the time to make use of these seminars, and we hope you will encourage others to do the same.

We invite you to read a speech given by Dr. Louis J. Capozzoli about leadership.
