Student Service Leaders Conference (Nov 10)
STUDENT SERVICE LEADERS CONFERENCE
November 10, 2007
at Temple University's Student Activities Center
13th St & Montgomery Ave.
OVERVIEW
Campus Philly and PHENND will be hosting the First Annual Student
Service Leaders Conference on Saturday, November 10, 2007. Both
organizations seek to bring together highly involved college students
from the Philadelphia area around topics stemming from work in
extracurricular service and service learning.
Each year, student service leaders in the Philadelphia region work
across their campuses and neighboring communities to shape peer service
experiences and institutional programming. By providing these students
a forum to share best practices, collaborate around local issues, and
identify with like-minded leaders, we hope to create a conference
experience enriching a student’s academic and civic interests.
The day will feature two main breakout sessions followed by a
plenary panel. Morning breakout sessions will focus on issues specific
to various parts of the Philadelphia region. Afternoon breakout
sessions will focus on thematic issues and constituency groups (i.e.
public health, environment, faith-based). The plenary panel will focus
on Non-Profit Career Development.
