A private, nonprofit, accredited institution with 13,000 graduate and undergraduate students enrolled in Providence, North Miami, Denver, and Charlotte, we have cultivated a supportive environment where students and faculty work to bring out the best in each other.

Eagle U

Eagle U is one of the country's premier youth leadership retreat experiences for students between the ages of 15 to 25+ years old, designed to give students a 7-year head start on their career and life! Eagle U was co-founded in the early 1990’s by Steve Anderson. As an entrepreneur and mentor to thousands of professionals and business executives, Steve identified "natural laws" of human behavior and designed systems to accomplish predictable, consistent results in business and in life. Students who attend Eagle U experience 5 intense days of fun and learning that will change the trajectory of their entire life. At Eagle U students will learn success principles from today's business leaders and role models, as well as techniques and systems that will help them move more rapidly through their education and skip the trial and error process to find a career that fits them in which they will excel. By the end of the week, every single student will leave with a roadmap that will lead them wherever they wish to go!

The Eagle U curriculum includes career planning strategies, identifying core values, strategic goal setting, study skills, performance psychology, public speaking, interviewing skills, communication skills, time management, how to dress for success, etiquette, digital media strategy, networking and much, much more! The structure of the program is a combination of seminars, keynote speakers, hands-on activities, and small group discussions. On the second to last day of the program, each student will partake in the Mentor Roundtable - every year this part of our program is one of the most impactful experiences our students have (and on more than one occasion our students have left the roundtable with a job offer in hand...). The Roundtable is an opportunity for our students to learn from successful individuals from all kinds of industries and backgrounds. We have a saying at Eagle U, “It takes a lifetime to learn from your own experiences, but it only takes a conversation to learn from someone else’s. Why create mediocrity when you can copy genius?”. We want our students to be able to “borrow” experiences and knowledge from people who have already mastered their field. Not only is this a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn the secrets of success from individuals that have done it, but it is also an excellent opportunity for our students to practice their interview and communication skills.

The entire program is hosted on a university campus. Students will be in a small group of 8-12 other students around their same age and will be led by an experienced and trained Team Leader. All students will eat and sleep on campus. Student tuition/sponsorship covers the entire cost of the program - seminars, activities, materials, student "swag", housing, and meals. The only cost tuition does not cover is the cost of travel to and from the program should a student be traveling from out of state - however, Eagle U does provide complimentary private transportation to and from the airport.

For more information or to register for the retreat, contact Executive Director Taylor Lowe at [email protected] or (303) 525-8878.
