    Wow how time rolls on by! While some of you are returning from Spring Break, or yet to go on Spring Break, or not planning to have a break, just want to send a note of appreciation to you, for bringing all parts of you to work, the profession, further advancing community on your respective campuses.

    2023 Annual Conference – Boston Massachusetts

    Many thanks to the 2023 Conference Planning Team for an amazing conference experience. From campus visits, amazing keynote speakers, workshops, the expo vendors, silent auction, and closing banquet, there were meaningful connections made throughout the entire experience. For those who were in attendance, I hope you enjoyed your conference experience.

    Thank you Brenna, Bill and Nicole those who joined the Tuesday Morning Leadership & Service Education Meet Up. We shared our challenges and successes over the past year. Here?s a list of the topics and discussion items.

    • How to re-teach about leadership

    • Moving beyond traditional leadership programs

    • Revised leadership training for student organizations – SUNY Onenta?s Red Dragon  Flight School that includes asynchronous learning, open educational resources and weekly team meetings

    • National Society of Leadership and Success (honor society) incorporates development component and is well-received among students (thanks for sharing Nicole!)

  • Other leadership programs on-campus

    • Career Services, Office of Diversity & Inclusion

    • Is there room for partnership and collaboration?

  • Carnegie Classification for Community Engagement (community service)
