TKE Leadership Academy Graduates 72

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – The 36th Annual Charles R. Walgreen, Jr. TKE Leadership Academy graduated 72 Fraters from across the United States and Canada. TKE has continued the tradition by cultivating the best and brightest leaders, providing them with the tools and application of a solid life skills portfolio in a controlled environment. The National Founders, and their leadership styles, are shown as the prime examples to challenge the current process and inspire all members to have a shared vision for the future vitality of the Fraternity.

"Leadership Academy gave me the opportunity to challenge myself to become a better leader and person. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity and support of the fraternity." 

- TKELA XXXVI Graduate Tim Rygwelski (Upsilon-Delta, Saginaw Valley State University)

Through a sequenced and balanced blend of workshops, small group discussions, outdoor activities and keynote speakers, each attendee is influenced at a personal level and discovers new boundaries mentally, morally and socially. The curriculum takes deeper looks at Scholarship, Character, Leadership, Teamwork, Service and Brotherhood. By thinking critically and rising to lead us into our future, each Leadership Academy Teke has walked away more focused, dedicated and has a new sense of the concept of fraternity.

Congratulations to the 72 Graduates of the Charles R. Walgreen, Jr. XXXVI Leadership Academy.

Only by developing a full understanding of attendees’ personal values, and the values of the Fraternity, can aspiring leaders truly begin the journey of leadership in TKE and beyond. Building better groups across TKE Nation begins with these men who took the time to develop their abilities. We look forward to seeing them succeed on their campus and in their communities in the 2023-24 school year.

Special thanks to all the amazing volunteers, staff and donors who helped make the program an experience of a lifetime. Without their hard work and dedication to building better men, this important program would not be possible. Thank you!
