The Engler Team
Student Executive Leadership Team
The Executive Team acts as a liaison between Engler students and staff members. Similar to the Engler Advisory Board, the Exec Team provides the program director with strategic insight and guidance on where the program is headed and how to best serve the Engler community. They are tasked with growing the program, not only in the quantity of active participants, but in the quality of experiences, relationships and opportunities for personal and professional development. They are leaders who demonstrate a firm commitment to Engler values and model the behavior and responsibility expected of Engler entrepreneurs.
