Pathway 2 Empowerment

Pathway to Empowerment (P2E)

The Pathway to Empowerment is a co-curricular campus-wide initiative that promotes students’ personal and professional development through applied learning. P2E seeks opportunities to take action in line with the College’s Mission and Vision with the goal of empowering students to grow holistically and reach their full potential. P2E utilizes the four elements from the College’s Vision and establishes them as developmental phases for students to embrace as they progress toward graduation and beyond. By preparing students personally and professionally through the ethos of the College, they will be better positioned to “lead lives of personal significance and professional success.” Specific P2E programs include HU 110, the required first-year experience course; the Power-Up Scholarship Program; as well as a variety of other ways for students to get involved such as through student and faculty empowerment projects, career development programming, community engagement activities, hearing from inspiring guest speakers, and a variety of related on-campus and off-campus events offered each year. Additional details may be found on the Lake Erie College website under “P2E” or by contacting the Director of Co-Curricular Engagement and Diversity Initiatives Annalise Gatautis at agatautis@lec.edu.

Power-Up Scholarship Program

The Power-Up Scholarship Program provides opportunities for motivated students to accelerate their growth personally, professionally, and academically in line with the College’s Pathway to Empowerment (P2E) initiative. Each year, students that complete the Power-Up checkpoints by attending designated campus events and other empowering activities are able to earn between $1,000 and $2,000 scholarship for the subsequent academic year. To be eligible, students must apply and be accepted into Power-Up by the posted deadline each fall. Students must complete an application, including an essay on one of the four phases of the Pathway to Empowerment (P2E). Additional details may be found on the Lake Erie College website under “P2E” or by contacting the Director of Co-Curricular Engagement and Diversity Initiatives Annalise Gatautis at agatautis@lec.edu..
