The Student Leadership Summit is a one-day leadership conference.  Students hear from campus and community leaders about a range of topics that are intended to support organizational growth and improvement.  Time is also built into the day for peer networking amoung student leaders to promote collaborative efforts and programming.

The next Leadership Summit will be held on Saturday, November 23, 2013 from 9:00 am until 4:00 pm on the third floor of the University Center. Registration will be available in September.
