2010 Student Leadership Summit 
October 29 - 30, 2010
Clyde Austin 4-H Camp - Greenville, TN
Unfortunately, the Student Leadership Summit has been cancelled due to scheduling conflicts and will not be held this year.
Each year, the Chancellor hosts an overnight leadership retreat for top student leaders. Student leaders from across campus are nominated to attend the Student Leadership Summit on behalf of their respective organizations. The Summit will focus on helping students to be responsible and contributing leaders.
One of the highlights of the Summit is the Open Forum, which allows students to directly ask the Chancellor and his senior administrative staff questions. Additional activities include discussions on diversity issues on campus, empowering leadership, and important campus updates. There will also be opportunities for interaction with other student leaders, faculty, and senior administrative staff.
As a result of attending the Student Leadership Summit, campus student leaders will:
- Enhance their leadership skills
- Interact with other students, staff, and faculty
- Have the opportunity to raise concerns and ask questions of the Chancellor's Staff
- Learn about campus issues affecting student leadership on campus
