We enjoyed having ILA Alum, India Martin, come and have a workshop with our 2027 Scholars to discuss the Working Genius model and how teams can improve collaboration by understanding their teammates “Genius” types. We look forward to seeing our Scholars implement this model in their Service-Learning projects! Thank you, India, for your insight and leadership!

Hey! I wanted to pop by and introduce myself!

I’m Price Andersen, the new PR Specialist for ILA. My responsibilities include (but are not limited to) sending out the weekly newsletter, engaging with donors and alumni, running our social media channels and writing stories about the awesome Service Learning Projects our students perform each semester. I’m so excited to be apart of this team and I can’t wait for this school year!

A fun fact about me is I’ve run the Ath Half the past 4 years (this year will be the 5th)! I also went to London and Paris with my family this summer to celebrate the graduations of both mine and my younger twin brothers. It’s been a big year for the Andersen squad!

ILA is a values-based leadership program, so I’d be dropping the ball if I didn’t share mine! Faith is my leading value, where I derive a most of my leadership capabilities. Some other interests of mine include getting coffee with friends, snowboarding, hiking (and recently biking). I love getting to know new people so come say hey! I’m usually in the ILA office or you may see me attending classes.

I’ll be doing the insta takeover today, so stay tuned to learn more about the day-to-day at ILA!

Rachel shared an overview of brand management and gave students a realistic view of that sector of marketing. She gave students a behind-the-scenes look at product development and what it takes to lead cross-functional teams in a fast-moving, consumer-focused environment.
 
Her ability to translate real-world experience into actionable insight gave our students a clearer understanding of how to apply their skills and encouraged them to do their own research during the job search to learn about great opportunities.  Thank you, Rachel, for investing in the next generation of leaders!

Aaron Konnick (2005 Scholar), Director of Tax Accounting and Reporting at UPS, returned to campus with Samantha White (2023 Leadership Dawg), Treasury Payment Strategy Director at UPS, to watch our 2026 Spring Fellows present their hypothetical UPS Case Study. This is an incredible learning opportunity for ILA students, allowing them to collaborate to develop and present strategic growth ideas directly to company leaders!

Thank you to Aaron and the UPS team for taking the time to host this case study, offering valuable project feedback, and investing in our students’ growth and leadership development.

We enjoyed having Garrett Williams as an ILA Alum of the day!

Garrett connected with students to share how he’s leveraged his experiences, from consulting at Bain & Company to corporate strategy and innovation at AGBO, and now pursuing a Master’s in Global Affairs at Tsinghua University as a Schwarzman Scholar. He offered thoughtful insights on navigating global opportunities, exploring creative career paths, and leading with curiosity.

We’re grateful to Garrett for investing in our students and sharing perspectives that help them think bigger about their own leadership journeys.
