KLI Mentorship Program
KLI's Mentorship Program coordinates monthly, 30 minute one-on-one meetings between mentors, consisting of KLI Fellows and Board Members, and mentees, consisting of current KLI students. In doing so, the program develops meaningful and long term relationships with students through sharing experiences and prepares students to be leaders in the workplace. I have gained con dence and perspective through the mentorship program because I have been able to work on myself and push myself outside my comfort zone. I have seen the results of the program in becoming more e ective in communicating with those around me. The biggest di erence is in the small things that happen each week/day. Indeed. I felt like I ended up work- ing through more personal problems than leadership speci c issues, but it has increased my ability to be a leader for those around me. - Max Jackman ‘23

Leadership Competency Model & D-Crews
The KLI’s Leadership Competency model maximizes student leadership potential through “D-Crews,” or small student groups that focus on developing one speci c competency (courage, collaboration, or creative) through intentional re ection, discussion, and group events.
One thing I have practiced is trying new activities that are completely new to me. For example, I signed up for intramural water polo, a sport that I have zero experience with. Back in high school, I would only take on things that I am completely con dent about because I worried too much about performing poorly and embarrassing myself. After playing several games of water polo, I realized that many things are not as daunting as they seem to be once I have the courage to start. Even more, I made new friends and our team even made it to the 2nd round of playo s. –Sonya Deng ‘26
