Call for Programs


NOW CLOSED

What topics and programs are needed?

The theme for the 2024 Leadership Week is “Leadership Journeys.” 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 individuals and groups to submit proposals which are related to one of three leadership topics: 1) Student Success and Well-Being; 2) Discovery and Exploration; and 3) Community and Culture.

  • 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.
