University of Montana Student Leadership Conference Seeks Presenter Proposals

The University Center at The University of Montana invites campus and community members to submit proposals for The Catalyst-Student Leadership Conference 2012, which will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6.

Participants will learn how to transform group energy in any organization or situation. The conference aims to empower participants to use their leadership resources to be effective, personal leaders with a global perspective.

Organizers encourage faculty, staff, students and community members to share their experiences and knowledge about leadership by submitting a proposal to be a presenter. Presentations should be 50 to 90 minutes long and priority will be given to proposals that deliver a diverse range of topics within the four conference learning tracks. Learning tracks include:

foundations.

leaders as individuals.

leading in a group.

leading in a global perspective.

Applications for proposals will be open until Sept. 18. Instructions on how to present or to register for the 2012 conference can be found online at http://life.umt.edu/uc/ucsi/leadership/default.php.

The conference is free and open to all UM students and young leaders in the community, and lunch is included. Participants will submit a question or issues they would like to see addressed during the conference when they register so that presenters can cater accordingly.

The conference will be based on the Social Change Model of Leadership and will offer a variety of workshops for all levels and abilities. Attendees will be able to individualize their learning experience throughout the day by choosing which sessions to attend.
