What Students are Saying

“My experience in the Lott Institute summer programs was immense when I made my college decision. The program provided me unparalleled insight into the aspirations this place has for its students, the connections it gives its students, and the opportunities students in institute have at their disposal. All of this compiled with a sublime group of individuals made such an impact on me that I wanted to come back and be a part of it at the university level.”

—Andrew Harrison Foxworth

“The Lott Leadership Institute’s Rising 12th Grade Program truly changed my path to college for the better. As a junior in high school, I had no idea what a career in public policy leadership could look like. After participating in the Lott Leadership Institute Rising 12th Grade Program, I saw how the Lott Institute develops young people who want to be positive change agents in any field, from state government to nursing to engineering. The program introduced me to alumni working as legislators, lobbyists, attorneys, and nonprofit leaders in every sector, and by engaging with these leaders I was able to discover how to turn my own academic interests into a career. I left the program knowing that earning a degree in public policy leadership through the Lott Leadership Institute would prepare me to be a leader in any setting.”
