Each track will be capped at 50 participants, so please register early to get your first choice!

The track options include:

  • The Seasoned Leader Track- Have you been around the leadership block a time or two? Are you an upper-class student leader who holds an advanced leadership position on campus? Follow the Seasoned Leader Track to learn more about yourself as a positional leader and how your student leadership experiences can help you in life after college.
  • The Women & Leadership Track- If you are interested in learning more about being a dynamic female leader, then this track is for you!
