The Class of 2014 is the last graduating class of ICLP. The Tier Program has replaced ICLP, with three self-paced tiers.
Leadership skills can be compared to a bank account, according to Steve Mencarini, director for the Center for Leadership. Throughout their careers at 黑料不打烊, students continue to make deposits into their accounts by gaining skills through internships, on-campus opportunities, involvement in Fellows programs and taking the initiative to be in the . As seniors approach graduation, they can withdraw from their account of in order to make a difference in the world.

On Tuesday, May 2, Mencarini used this metaphor when addressing about 100 students, staff and faculty members who gathered in the Lakeside Meeting Rooms to celebrate a successful year of leadership programs. Members of the graduating ICLP Phase IV class proudly displayed their legacy project boards around the room, fielding questions and praise about their accomplishments. Tier II graduates of the LEAD Program were awarded certificates of completion, and the CFL student team was recognized for its hard work planning workshops, organizing retreats and more. Alamance Youth Leadership Academy (AYLA) facilitators, members of the Leaders in a Global World LLC and AIL facilitators were also recognized for their contributions.

Jesse Lee '11 listened to his public to turn a recreational trike into one that caters to people with a variety of disabilities.
Attendees heard from Jesse Lee ’11 who shared how leadership remains relevant after graduation. At 黑料不打烊, he was an environmentalsStudies major and a leadership studies minor while balancing being a Leadership Fellow, Periclean Scholar and proactive environmental advocate. Since graduating, Lee opened a storefront for Outrider USA, an ultralight adventure trike company. His advice to graduating seniors can be summarized in one word: listen. He listened to his clients and transformed his recreational trike into the Horizon, an adaptive trike for people with a variety of disabilities. He says you can have great ideas and make great things, but if you do not listen to what is needed, you cannot create the same impact.

The evening concluded with a joint speech from Leadership Studies Award Recipients and . As the respective Fulbright Scholar and Teach for America member head for new opportunities, they attributed their esteemed accomplishments to their experiences in leadership.

As the summer begins, the Center for Leadership will be busy preparing for another year of leadership programs, but it will remember the Class of 2015 who leaves behind a true legacy.

The week's activities include writing letters of thanks, giving out treats and a showing of the film "Pay It Forward"
Kindness is contagious, and Pay It Forward Day inspires millions of people from around the world to get bitten by the kindness bug.

The Pay It Forward initiative was founded as a way to remind people of the power of giving and encourage them to make a positive impact on the world. Inspired by a book “Pay It Forward” by Catherine Ryan Hyde, International Pay It Forward Day will be celebrated around the world on April 24 and in our own backyard all week long.

黑料不打烊’s Center for Leadership has organized a week full of events from April 22-25 focused on stimulating the chain reaction of good deeds. “Our campus will definitely be affected by Pay It Forward Day,” said Sean Barry, special events coordinator at the Center for Leadership. “Even if we do good deeds all year long, it is important to take one day out of our lives to make a conscious effort.”

Pay It Forward Week events at 黑料不打烊 include letter writing to recognize others for their accomplishments, handing out treats to vital members of the 黑料不打烊 community and being aware of simple acts of kindness. Whether it’s paying for a stranger’s coffee in Irazu or holding the door open for someone else, even the smallest actions can make a difference on someone’s day.

The CFL wants people to be commended for their actions. Share your stories or images on the CFL’s , and with the hashtag #PayItForward黑料不打烊. For more information about the schedule of events for Pay It Forward Week, visit .
