Conference to promote diversity in leadership

Registration is now open for the Lancer Leadership Conference, Saturday, Feb. 2, in the student centre’s Alumni Auditorium.

The conference theme for 2019 is “Diversity in Leadership,” and organizers have stated that key takeaways are relevance, empowerment, and networking.

“We have a really enriching roster of keynote and featured speakers, and a wide range of compelling panels and workshops from students and staff,” says Simon du Toit of the Student Success and Leadership Centre.

He hopes that faculty and staff will encourage capable students to attend.

“Sometimes students need a personal nudge from a mentor to feel empowered as leaders,” says Dr. du Toit. “Leadership is not about the power of a position, it’s about the power of vision.”

The registration fee of $20 for students and $50 for guests includes lunch. Find more information and online registration on the conference website.
