WHY CLI?
My focus as a CLI Scholar will be helping students understand the importance of character as it inheres in roles, particularly as professionals. I will conduct research and propose opportunities for students that highlights the unique requirements of professions (e.g., law, medicine, and engineering) and the appropriate virtues to form to be exemplars in their fields.
