The President’s MILE is a deliberate set of experiences grounded in best practices in student retention, student success, and student engagement.
In essence, the goals are to (1) inspire academic confidence; (2) motivate a cadre of men to promote student learning and development collaboratively; (3) develop principled leaders characterized by human understanding, citizenship, and social change; (4) integrate classroom learning with educationally purposeful leisure/discretionary time, helping students better take advantage of informal time so as to help them overcome academic and personal boredom; and (5) enhance the practical competence of students both individually and collectively, focusing on time management, decision making, and study skills to name a few.
