Development Crew Spotlight

“My D-Crew this semester has been so much fun! The activities that we have done (e.g., our gingerbread house making workshop) have improved my creativity while also helping me to get to know my fellow KLI members on a deeper level. I’ve enjoyed laughing and developing together as leaders and I am excited for our events in the Spring!” - Amelia Opsahl ‘25

The KLI’s Leadership Competency model maximizes student leadership potential

through D-Crews , or small student groups that focus on developing one specific competency (courage, collaboration, or creative) through intentional reflection, discussion, and group events.

“My D-Crew has been an incredible source of support and growth for me this semester. I loved making gingerbread houses and seeing how everyone problem solved when our houses collapsed. Learning from everyone’s unique perspectives has made me a better problem solver and more confident team member!” - Ellie Leiter ‘27

KLI Co-Sponsored Athenaeum Speaker

“CMC alum, and Vietnam combat infantry platoon leader, Robin Bartlett was inspiring to learn from. His service to our country was extraordinary. Faced with unimaginably difficult tasks, he led his troop with intelligence, confidence, and loyalty. He taught us to say "welcome home" rather than "thank you for your service" when showing gratitude towards veterans. Robin illustrated that this salutation is meaningful and shows deep appreciation.” -Haley Penn ‘28
