Student Testimonials from 2007 Programs
"Economics for Leaders challenged me, made me question myself, pushed me out of my comfort zone, and made it all worth it. It was a week of struggle and fun (lots of fun) that ultimately strengthened me as a student, leader, and individual."
-Jane Manby, EFL Cornell 2007
"In the course of a week I was able to come to respect, trust, and believe in forty-nine other people who all seemed to be able to relate with me on a level few had achieved before."
-Patrick Wilkinson, EFL Cornell 2007
"Coming to Economics for Leaders was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. I made friends from all over the country and learned a lot about my strengths and weaknesses both as a leader and as a person."
- Diane Manovich, EFL Austin 2007
"I entered the program thinking that economics was the study of money. I left knowing that economics is the study of choice."
-Gabriella Biondo, EFL Delaware 2007
"EFL raises the bar. I have learned to lead, and increased my understanding of economics, and I loved every second of it!"
-Joseph Vall-Llobera, EFL Williamsburg 2007

- Kelsey Grab, EFL Boston 2007
"At first I was worried about what to expect, but when I got here, everyone was so cool and I felt so comfortable. I wouldn't trade this week for the world."
- Casey Ragen, EFL Seattle 2007
"I came to this program thinking it would be one more thing on my resume. But it has done so much more for me than could ever be written down. The EFL program has changed me for the better: I am now more informed, diverse, open, and a better leader."
-Taylor Vaughn, EFL Hillsdale 2007
