How do you respect and work with others whose viewpoints you find disrespectful, uninformed, or hurtful to you and those you love? What can we do to ensure all perspectives are welcomed and shared as student leaders on campus? How do we move forward after sharing divisive opinions to lead, make decisions, and take action in the best interests of all in a community? The Fall 2018 Sussman conference theme, “Leading Across the Divide,” will address these themes and more, with a specific emphasis on helping students build the leadership skill of seeking to understand and communicate across diverse perspectives in a way that builds positive, collaborative, and sustainable change. Registration is free for all Drake students, and includes brunch, a keynote speaker, and three breakout sessions to build your leadership skills.
