What:
The National Student Leadership Forum is a three-day annual event held in the fall that brings together a diverse group of university leaders from across the country. The program for the Forum is intentionally relational. Students will interact with fellow students, recent college graduates, young professionals and established adults from the political, business and social service sectors of society. Though the specifics of the forum shift slightly from year to year, core activities include keynote speeches by various political leaders, small group breakout sessions after larger meetings, panel discussions and more.
When:
The 2009 National Student Leadership Forum is scheduled for September 2009. (Final dates still pending)
How:
Students are nominated by leaders on their campuses and communities (such as university presidents, vice presidents, deans, directors, etc.) to participate. Once nominated you will receive an application in the mail to fill out and return to our office. If you would like to nominate someone for the NSL Forum or you are interested in being nominated, please contact the NSL office at

The most impacting aspect of the Forum for me was the realization of community. Examples of people striving to live intentionally manifested an attainable ideal and catalyzed my desire to do so myself. I made life-long friendships and look forward to deepening those and returning to the Forum next year.
