The Student Leadership
Conference is a university tradition whereby students attend this
day-long event to enhance their leadership skills and practice, network
with peers and alumni, and expand on their personal development to
reflect the University’s vision, mission, and values. The theme for this
year challenges students to discover their passions and use their
strengths to activate positive change within their community. Although
attendees are often involved in clubs and organizations on campus, the
SLC is open to the entire USF student body.
