Creating a Blueprint for Leadership and Citizenship Development: The EPIIC Development Process

The Institute for Global Leadership received support from the US Department of Education, through its Fund for Innovation in Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE), to evaluate the EPIIC program. The evaluation illuminated impacts of the EPIIC program on students over time, focusing on issues such as leadership development, continuing awareness of international issues, and public service involvement. Information from the evaluation can be used to develop and disseminate a model of EPIIC to other universities that may want to replicate the program in part or in whole. The evaluation was an 18-month project.
