UT Lead Program and Summer Lead Institute (SLI)
Developed by the Student Success Center, these programs are designed to give at-risk incoming freshman a head start on college by admitting them for the summer (SLI) and providing intensive advising and academic support. The Haslam College of Business coordinates pre-advising for the students who have indicated a desire to study business. We also provide workshops, open houses, and business basics seminars to connect the students with their advisors early on and to begin to develop a kinship within the college community.
