LCD Series - Legacies: Succession and Strategic Planning

The final session of our Leadership and Character Development series is coming up! We will use this time to discuss the spring semester and some best practices and considerations for leadership transition and strategic planning. 

RSVP Here

• Wednesday, November 4, from 8 - 9 a.m. in room 263
  • Legacies: Succession and Strategic Planning

Open to all upper-level students who currently hold a leadership position in a student organization, join this training session as part of our new Leadership and Character Developement (LCD) series. These monthly sessions will go over some specific topics pertinent to running a student organization (or holding any sort of leadership position more broadly).

RSOs that send at least one student to each session will receive an additional $100 allocation for the spring semester. Breakfast will be provided each session. Students who hold a leadership position in for-credit academic organizations are also more than welcome to attend; the funding incentive will just not apply. 

This series is meant to foster students' professional identity formation as you lead the Law School's organizations.

Questions? Please contact Sarah DiStefano, assistant director of student affairs.
