Have you been wanting to connect with like-minded student leaders looking to share their leadership experiences and learn how to improve? Consider registering for the Collegiate Leadership Summit. This collaborative, student-centered, regional leadership summit is available to students with a new theme or focus each year. This event is sponsored in collaboration with SIU Edwardsville, SIU Carbondale, and Blackburn College.

Save the Date! This year's Collegiate Leadership Summit 2022: Radically You will be Saturday, February 12. The only person who can play your part is you! This year, we are placing emphasis on authenticity, honesty, personal leadership, and courage! Leadership is certainly not only the actions and behaviors of those in formalized positions of authority, but it is present in how we carry ourselves when working in groups of all sizes, purposes, and spaces. The schedule will consist of the following components all coordinated by students:

  • Breakout sessions are 35-40 minute sessions of content on various topics of leadership.
  • Leadership Showcases are 5 minute presentations to all participants followed by 5 minutes of Q&A.
  • RoundTables are peer-facilitated discussions around a specified topic scheduled to encourage idea-sharing, brainstorming, problem-solving, and networking. 

This conference is open to students from multiple institutions in Illinois who may be coming from a wide range of previous leadership experiences. Registration will open November 2021!
