Leadership Challenge Event

The Leadership Challenge Event™ (LCE™) is hosted annually by the Washburn University Leadership Institute and was held on April 9-10. It is a unique inter-scholastic and inter-collegiate leadership competition which enables high school and college students an opportunity to participate in an organized competition that simulates real-life experiences. Students address a variety of problems and situations where the outcome of the simulation is dependent on the leadership decisions made throughout the course of the competition. Student teams must fulfill the challenges and overcome the obstacles placed before them in a manner that demonstrates exemplary leadership knowledge and execution. This year’s scenario required students to confront the issues of poverty, crime, and unemployment in the fictitious town of Metropolis.

Pictured are this year’s LCE™ participants shown with their project: Fred Schuler, Eric Ebert, Emily Woodcock, Ashley Broxterman, and Taylor Brecheisen.
