As some of you may or may not know, I'm part of a student group here at UBC responsible for an annual student-driven event called the Student Leadership Conference (SLC). This event is in it's 6^th year and focuses on leadership among students. It's a great event that's growing every year, increasing from last year's attendance of roughly 700 to an expected attendance of over 1200!

We have enlisted some fantastic leaders from across North America as guest speakers and workshop leaders, most notably, Stephen Lewis, one of Canada's most celebrated humanitarians. Our theme for this year is "Activation Energy - what does it take to reach your potential". It is happening on January 12^th, 2008, and open to all UBC students.

If you are a student at UBC and are interested in developing your leadership skills as well as knowing and growing your potential, do sign up on the website! If you're not a UBC student but are interested in attending, we have set up a non-UBC interest list for such individuals. I can put you on that list and in the case that registration opens to non-UBC students, you will all be the first to know. Anyways, it's a great event and this year is going to be the best yet. Hope to see you all there!
