ELFA Team

Our team of Experiential Learning Facilitation Advisors ('ELFA') in leadership education and development mirrors the roles and activities undertaken aboard a sailing ship. This type of vessel represents an environment-friendly and team-spirited vehicle, a leader-ship that carries our programme participants towards new horizons of thought, feeling and action. The nautical world also inspired the school in adopting the MainSail, StaySail, Cape, and Professor-At-Large titles and qualifications.

MainSail  - On a sailboat the mainsail (or topsail) transforms the carrier winds, propelling the vessel forward. At our Graduate School the Senior Faculty members hold the qualification of MainSail Professor (Lecturer), and/or Coach.

StaySail  - A staysail (or foresail, or jib) keeps the ship's motion finely tuned with the carrier winds, and on a precise course, while generating a boost in cruising-speed. A StaySail Faculty-member (equiv. to an adjunct or assistant professor) is most often a graduate of our programmes, and who shares his/her knowledge in a given specialty area.

At-Large ("across oceans")  From 2002-2008 the School invited professors from other educational institutions to join the School as At-Large faculty members. The At-Large title is awarded on  special nomination by our School. (list of past 2002-2009 members click here). In the course of the 2009-2010 academic year a new type of advisory board will be established, the At-Large role to integrated into the new structure.
