icon2. Communication for Leaders: Communication is key to leading change, motivating participation, and expressing a personal point of view. Workshops in this category should help students master articulating a vision, communicating in groups, presenting to stakeholders, and other aspects of public motivational speaking.

icon3. Networking: Creating and expanding a personal network is a critical leadership skill. Workshops in this category will teach students to create more meaningful connections and build impactful relationships.

icon5. Life Skills and Personal Development: Leadership reaches beyond the conference — and beyond the classroom. Workshops in this block will teach the leadership skills students need to prepare for the world that awaits beyond the traditional college and university walls.

icon6. Self-care and Wellness: In the fast-paced world of student leadership it is easy to put yourself last. Yet, mental and physical health are key components of success. These workshops focus on mental health, self-care, and wellness for students.
