Proposals are now being accepted for the Western New York Student Leadership Conference on Saturday, November 18, at Villa Maria College. This year’s theme, “Giving Thanks through Action,” relates to being thankful for the efforts of Western New York leaders and community partners, as well as closely tying into the Thanksgiving holiday.

All concurrent sessions will be 50 minutes in length. Proposals may be submitted online. The deadline for submissions is Friday, October 27.

The audience will be undergraduate and graduate students from universities and colleges in Western New York who want to maximize their academic and professional potential through advancing their leadership skills. Proposals from faculty, staff, and graduate students are invited. Undergrads may co-present. Session proposals will provide students with opportunities to advance their leadership skills while gaining deeper knowledge about themselves as leaders, followers, and citizens in their own communities. A student government track will also be an option for students to follow this year.

Please contact Yolanda Wood, director of diversity and inclusion at D’Youville College, or Troy Morehouse, director of student engagement at Alfred State University, with questions.
