Leadership Institute

ABOUT LI

The Leadership Institute is Delta Upsilon’s annual Fraternity convention and the highlight of our educational calendar. Educational programming, networking and recognition come together for a powerful weekend of DU brotherhood. Beginning in 2027, a new format will be piloted for LI:

• In odd numbered years, LI will focus primarily on alumni, volunteers, advisors, and alumni leaders, creating expanded opportunities for education, networking, and lifelong engagement.
• It will also feature the Cornerstone Experience, a new capstone program for approximately 30 of Delta Upsilon’s top rising or graduating seniors. Participants will engage in executive mentoring, leadership panels, professional development workshops, and networking with accomplished alumni.
• The Assembly of Trustees will be held in-person. The Undergraduate Convention will be held virtually. 
• In even-numbered years, the Institute will become a longer, more immersive leadership experience for undergraduate members, allowing us to invest more deeply in developing the next generation of Fraternity leaders.
• Both the Undergraduate Convention and Assembly of Trustees will happen in-person. 

These changes were made based on feedback from undergraduates and alumni, as well as historical LI attendance data. Undergraduates desire more immersive, concentrated leadership experiences, and alumni are looking for more opportunities to reconnect with one another in both social and leadership-focused settings.
