About LLI

Approximately 200 rising freshmen from across the country are brought together annually for a multi-day leadership training program focused on leadership development, community-building, professional networking, social impact, and cultural engagement. Participants also explore their respective sectors in depth, including Education, Engineering, Entrepreneurship, Finance and Business, Healthcare and Science, Media and Entertainment, Public Service and Social Justice, Sustainability, and Technology.

“LOFT has been one of the most memorable experiences I took part in before going to college. I met a group of amazing people that are willing to put the work to shape the next generation. It was inspiring learning from other young leaders and I can’t wait to see my fellow awardees again, especially the ones from my region.”

– Fabian Acevedo, LOFT Leadership Institute
