The Complete Tennessee Leadership Institute builds community advocates and promotes local ownership to increase higher education completion rates in the state.

 

The Complete Tennessee Leadership Institute (CTLI) strengthens leadership capacity to increase postsecondary credential attainment in Tennessee. The program is jointly administered by SCORE and The Hunt Institute, a nonprofit focused on research, educational partnerships, and events related to improving education policy.

CTLI is tailored for thought leaders in higher education issues from postsecondary institutions, K-12 districts, state and local government, and advocacy organizations. Over 12 months, the CTLI participants dive into data on higher education access, attainment, retention, and completion; foster partnerships for building actionable coalitions; and explore innovative solutions to local and statewide collaboration and student success.
