The mission of the Edwin L. Cox B.B.A. Leadership Institute (BLI) is to help
students achieve professional success by becoming more effective communicators
and leaders. Toward that end, the BLI seeks to:
- Improve students’ writing, interpersonal and presentation skills as well as
their ability to plan and manage projects in a team setting.
- Increase students’ understanding of the vital role communications, integrity,
ethics and trust play in running a successful business.
- Enhance students’ appreciation for the contemporary issues and topics that
impact businesses on a daily basis, including corporate structure, global
competition, legislation/regulation and diversity.
The BLI employs a variety of instructional techniques to impart key concepts
and skills and expose students to the real world of business. Techniques include
lecture, class discussion, self-assessments, small-group projects, role-play simulations,
