ILCP Foundation

ILCP seeks to prepare students for leadership roles and responsibilities in service to the college and community. ILCP accomplishes its mission through education, development, and training in a series of courses and activities in partnership with the CSB/SJU campus. Students will develop a personal authentic leadership model based in the Benedictine Values.
