Leadership Conference Says: Be The Boss

Students have the opportunity to develop their leadership skills this Saturday, February 4, at Lyndon State College.

The Leadership Conference is being hosted by the Student Academic and Leadership Center and all students are encouraged to attend. This is a chance to engage in learning with others, while also improving your resume.

Student Activities Coordinator and Residence Hall Director, Kayla Carlozzi looks forward to this event stating, "This will be the fourth year and prospectively the largest year the conference has put on."

The keynote speaker is Lyndon State alumnus, Adam Joseph, who has been invited to speak about his career as a meteorologist in Philadelphia, Pa for Channel 6 ABC.

Students are invited to attend this conference free of charge; walk-ins are welcome. The focus is on getting experience with becoming a leader, learning what it takes to maintain that position, and sharing your knowledge with others. Registration starts at 10:15 a.m. in ASAC 100 and the conference runs from 10:30a.m. until 2:30 p.m. At that time, the event will come to a close with an ice cream social. Lunch and other refreshments will be provided, as well as giveaways.

After lunch there are several workshops you can choose from such as, What Type of Leader are You?, Building Bridges of Leadership, and Toy Box Leadership.  These workshops not only aim to provide quality lessons on leadership, but also help students receive hands-on experience alongside others with the same interest.

Attending in collaboration with the Lyndon State Residential Life Staff are students from both Castleton State and Vermont Tech. This event promotes interaction between all VSC Resident Assistants and Residential Life Staff.
