The Freshman Leadership Institute (FLI) is an executive project within the Student Government Association at Florida State University. FLI shall provide members with the opportunity to embrace their personal values, explore and develop their personal leadership style, and foster a deeper sense of self-identity. The program encompasses weekly workshops, a weekend retreat, family groups, and a peer mentor program for student participants. Students are exposed to campus resources, opportunities, leadership development activities, and much more during the workshops. This unique opportunity allows freshmen to make connections and build relationships with other FSU students interested in leadership development. Not only do students have the opportunity to network, but they also gain valuable knowledge and skills to leave a legacy at our University. Each summer we recruit and select about 40 freshmen who will participate in the ten-week program.
