Every interaction—whether in class, at an interview, or meeting someone new—shapes how others see you as a leader. How can you show up with confidence and authenticity so your presence makes a lasting impact?

Join us at the 2025 Sussman Leadership Conference to explore these questions. Featuring keynote speaker Stephanie Salasek, founder of LookUp Communications, you’ll learn practical strategies and tools to build professional presence, elevate emotional intelligence, and create meaningful moments that inspire others as a Drake student leader.

Free for all Drake students—registration includes a gourmet brunch, a keynote address, and several choose-your-own interactive breakout sessions. If you register, please arrive on time and plan to stay for the entire event.

Space is limited! Register by Wednesday, Nov. 5.
