“The conference was really an amazing event, something that all students should have attended. Leaders in the corporate and campus community were all there to give us tips and advice.”

Associated Students Board of Directors; Vice President Afghan Student Association

Approximately 100 CSU East Bay students took the opportunity to develop their leadership skills at the all-day student leadership conference which offered tracks for leaders on various levels: Start -- representing leadership 101, designed for new student leaders; Heart -- for those with some leadership experience; and Art -- for advanced student leaders.

"Supersize Your Organization"

Facilitators, who included faculty, staff, students, and local business people who donated their expertise, planned the "FUNShops" to be not only informative but interactive and entertaining. Sessions included: Schmoozing: How you Meet and Make an Impression, Tranforming Fun into Leadership, Networking:It Takes a Village to Get a Job, Leadership Through Coaching, and Pulling on a Flower Doesn't Help It Grow.

"Hocus Pocus - Tricks of the Leadership Trade"

In each of four one-hour sessions of the conference student leaders had five concurrent FUNshops to choose from. In addition, students participated in a "Networking" lunch - an opportunity to meet fellow student leaders and make connections for future activities.

Showing off a full networking card!
