At LEAD we had the opportunity to experience many new things that most of us had never been encountered with. In my case I loved being able to touch aspects of finance, marketing, accounting and entrepreneurship. These were things that I would not have had the chance to witness without my attendance to LEAD.

The Summer Business Institute (SBI) program is LEAD’s longest running Summer Institute and is considered the “flagship” program. The SBI program exposes students to business principles and the skill sets needed for successful business careers. The program challenges them through applied learning experiences often facilitated by college professors, links students to corporate executives in business fields and peers with similar aspirations and abilities.


During LEAD SBIs, students reside and attend classes on-campus at a select number of the nation’s top business schools for three or four weeks.

The experience of college classes and professors, while staying in a college dorm, experience a small part of college life, and completing meaningful projects that can one day help someone.
