Learn New Approaches

The FELI Institute will challenge your perceptions of working styles, listening abilities, and communication techniques. The Institute also focuses on the difference between outside-in and inside-out learning, authentic communication, and the value of self-awareness and self-disclosure in the retainment of marginalized students.
