Opening October 2024
Submitting a Proposal
The theme for our 25th Leadership Week is “Reach for the Stars”. This year’s theme invites the campus community to engage in self-discovery, to gain motivation, and network with ambitious and inspiring leaders. The Leadership Week Executive Board invites any individual or group to submit a proposal related to one of the following three leadership topics:
- Student Success and Well-Being
- Programs will focus on pathways to student success and enhanced personal well-being. The programs will develop and empower leaders to thrive and make meaningful contributions to their communities.
- Discovery and Exploration
- Programs will focus on creative and/or entrepreneurial leadership or research initiatives and their contribution to pressing societal issues including, but not limited to, the climate crisis, food and housing insecurity, poverty, physical and mental health, biodiversity and animal welfare, or human rights.
- Community and Culture
- Programs will foster a culture of innovation, inclusion, public service, and/or collaboration. Program content will model civil discourse that is consistent with the Florida Board of Governors’ Statement of Free Expression.
