Leaders Unleashed is BACK and excited to offer VCU student leaders a phenomenal opportunity to connect with others for their own growth and development and to enhance the VCU community and student leadership experience. This event will be held in person on Friday, January 26, 2024, from 3-8 p.m.

This year, the Leaders Unleashed conference theme is UNcommon Stories. Leadership often focuses on people who are the loudest or are at the front of the room, but leadership is about so much more. Leaders Unleashed will focus on leaders who too often go unheard and uncelebrated. We hope to inspire students with representation, inclusivity, and stories of resilience as they find their own next steps in leadership at VCU and beyond. 

All submissions of this form are due Friday, December 15. Responses will be shared about breakout session proposals by Friday, December 22.

If you have questions, please contact Jonathan Fuller and Lisa Cooper, Conference co-chairs at fullerjd2@vcu.edu, or lcooper4@vcu.edu.
