ELC Program

Since 1959, the Kappa Alpha Theta Educational Leadership Consultant (ELC) program has provided customized education and leadership development support and resources for students to enhance and add value to their college experience. ELCs are recent college graduates who serve in a visible role for Theta through in-person and/or virtual visits. Their term generally spans the academic year.

ELC visits to chapters are free and available upon request. Requests can be made the term ahead of the visit (submit a request in the spring for a fall visit). The ELC visits can be customized to each chapter and usually involve a mix of workshops for the chapter and committees as well as coaching sessions for individuals. The workshops and coaching sessions are guided by the chapter’s goals and what they would like to learn about.
