Sixteen Syracuse University juniors and seniors have earned full scholarships to the prestigious 2016 Dulye Leadership Experience (DLE), including social work major, Paulina Colon ’17. Founded by alumna Linda Dulye ’77, the highly selective DLE, now in its ninth year, promotes students’ self-discovery and critical skills building for finding a career that mutually benefits themselves and their employers.

Since the program’s start in 2008, over 100 SU students have participated in the program, with most advancing to a job or internship within three months of attending. Dulye, an internationally recognized leader in workplace communication and engagement whose firm Dulye & Co. pioneered the Spectator-Free Workplace, is passionate about helping students reach their full potential as they prepare for the overwhelming process of graduating, getting a professional job and pursuing their careers.

A record-breaking 186 applications were received for the 2016 program. After a highly selective review process and live interview sessions, these students earned a coveted place in the DLE Class of 2016.
