The Student Leadership Summit is a leadership development program that is intended to network student leaders with one another to promote collaborative efforts and programming, teach methods for improving as a student leader, and generate ideas to make our Registered Student Organizations achieve even greater levels of success.  Student leaders, University staff, and guests will engage one another in productive educational sessions and discussions to improve campus life by increasing knowledge about effectively leading in preparation for the 2012-2013 academic year.

The Leadership Summit will be held on Saturday, November 17, 2012 from 9:00 am until 4:00 pm on the third floor of the University Center.
