Student Leadership Conferences
Student Leadership Conferences
We began our student leadership conferences in 2006 to provide underrepresented 5th grade, middle and high school students with an opportunity to experience the life-changing environment that college has to offer them. While on campus, students receive vital information from university officials and current university students in a variety of gender specific environments. The goal of our conferences is to increase the number of underrepresented students who graduate from high school and enroll in college.
To date, these conferences have impacted the lives of over 15,000 students across the United States!
Our conferences target students who . . .
• Could be the 1st generation to attend college from their family
• Do not hear the college language in their school, community and/or family
• Do not have a college culture in their school, community and/or family
• May have family finances that do not support college attendance
• May be unmotivated, uninspired , and unconnected by/from school
• School attendance may be hindering their success
• May not be able to connect school performance with life performance
• Come from a single-parent home
• Do not have and/or need help creating a life plan
• May have friends who do not support being “smart” or going to college
We offer the following types of conference environments to the students described above:
• 1 Day Conferences
• 3 Night/4 Day Summer Institutes
• Project Graduate 2015
