Ricardo Salas Attends Ruck Leadership Institute
The Frank J. Ruck Leadership Institute prepares you to lead culture change, reaching beyond your chapter and campus and into your community. Executive-level alumni mentors work with you on how to engage in challenging and meaningful conversations — a skill not often taught on campus. Ruck Scholars are selected through a competitive application process, and they leave with a better understanding of their own leadership styles and a new and better vision for the future.
The Ruck Leadership Institute was launched in 1999, with a curriculum based on the world-renowned book, The Leadership Challenge, co-authored by Brother Barry Posner, California- Santa Barbara ’70. Ruck has long been SigEp’s landmark leadership program and a sought-after experience for undergraduates to explore and develop personal leadership skills. For more than 20 years, SigEps from around the country have come together to learn from each other and from some incredibly successful alumni.
When Ricky Salas heard the news, he could hardly contain his excitement.
“This has always been a dream of mine,” Ricky said when asked about his acceptance, “I have always wanted to be able to change something for the better. growing up in Venezuela, it was hard seeing all of the corruption and suffering. when I found out that I was getting the opportunity to attend something that prepares you to lead a change, I knew that I was the man for the job.”
Ricky hopes that this opportunity will allowing him to gain the skills necessary to help those seeking asylum from corrupted countries and assist them in starting a new life in the states.
