Summer Leadership Conference

About the Summer Leadership Conference

The Summer Leadership Conference is a three-day conference that brings Penn State student representatives together from across the commonwealth. Participants attend several workshops aimed at enhancing their leadership, citizenship and networking skills.

This year's Summer Leadership Conference will be held virtually on August 1-3, 2022 at Penn State Altoona.

Vision

The Penn State Summer Leadership Conference will provide a challenging and motivating experience for participants where they will learn to be empowered, confident leaders, both personally and professionally, and will be inspired to lead purposeful lives while upholding the Penn State values.

Learning Outcomes

Students will:

• Enhance essential skills and competencies and identify areas for further exploration and development in the pursuit of leadership excellence; specifically ethical decision making, creative education and innovation, group dynamics, and conflict management.
• Explain the importance of embracing a diverse and inclusive community and how those relate to multicultural competency.
• Define their leadership values and philosophies through self-awareness exercises.
• Demonstrate how their role as a student leader at Penn State can be applied to their future.

Administration

We have gone electronic! This year the Statement of Expectations, Photo Waiver and Pre & Post Assessment are all online forms. Once your student delegation is submitted, we will send them individual emails requesting they complete these forms and communicate any missing documents to the campus contact.

Please remember that all students are required to sign the expectations agreement prior to arrival. This will be included in all pre-assessment information.
