Grand Valley’s Leadership Summit, scheduled for February 20 in the Kirkhof Center, is a campus-wide leadership development experience designed to support students in growing their capacity to lead with purpose, authenticity and impact. 

Hosted by the Office of Student Life, in partnership with campus collaborators, the summit brings together students, faculty and staff for a day of learning that includes a keynote presentation from Anthony Chang, founder and CEO of BAMF Health, breakout sessions and opportunities for connection. Session topics span personal leadership development, inclusion and belonging, civic and community engagement, and professional skill-building offering something relevant for all students.

Faculty and staff are encouraged to share this opportunity with students, advisees and student organizations who may benefit from a day focused on leadership learning and reflection. 

Additional details, including registration and session information, are available on the GVSU Leadership Summit website.

— Jeremy Paul is the associate director of Student Organizations and Leadership Development.
