This year's Student Leadership Conference has finally come to an end and it has made a resounding impact on campus. We had a record attendance (over 1200 attendees from roughly 700 at last year's event) including some phenomenal leaders and speakers in attendance.
Student Leadership Conference 2008 - Opening
Nestor Korchinsky, for whom after the Nestor Korchinsky Student Leadership Award is named, was present and made a very motivational speech. As well, Ike Barber, of the Ike Barber Learning Center and another of the major contributors to the conference, was there to give an entertaining and welcoming introduction to our keynote speaker, Stephen Lewis. One of Canada's most honored humanitarians, Stephen Lewis gave a truly inspiring keynote speech and it really made an impression amongst those in attendance.
The conference was a tremendous success and I encourage everyone to take part in next year's conference. It has been toted as the "best SLC yet", and it will only get better.
