Leadership Summit

Leadership Summit :: Overview

The Leadership Summit is an annual event hosted by Student Group Services at the start of the academic year. The goal of the Leadership Summit is to give new and returning student leaders on campus - primarily those involved with student groups – a venue where they can network with other active students on campus while building on and developing their personal leadership skills.

If a registered student group sends 2 Executive Members to the Leadership Summit in its entirety, the group becomes eligible for $5000.00 worth of granting money over the year! Otherwise, your group is capped at $2500.00 - so you can double your possible funding in only two days!

Leadership Summit :: Recap 2011

The 2011 Leadership Summit was held September 23/24 at the University of Alberta’s own Lister Centre. The event ran very smoothly and was received exceptionally well by all who attended based on the positive evaluations SGS received. We hosted a strong set of speakers both internal and external to the University of Alberta. Student leaders in attendance had the opportunity to examine their finance/budgeting skills, public speaking skills, personal strengths and weaknesses, team motivation, involvement opportunities, and the role of fear in student involvement and professional life.

The Leadership Summit is an invaluable resource to groups and leaders in general on campus and is only getting better with time! If you missed this year’s Summit, make sure you keep an eye out for other Professional Development opportunities over the year, or take advantage of our March 2012 Transition Summit programming!

With the assistance of external sponsors, SGS was able to gain access to more valuable venues and catering, to continue to give students free admission, and to attract a more diverse list of speakers. A special thanks to them: ATB Financial, Precision Drilling, and FC Edmonton!
