BGS Student Leadership Forum Winter 2011 SLF February 3-6, 2011 | Tampa, FL

BGS Student Leadership Forum The BGS Student Leadership Forum was so helpful in helping me decide what type of person, professional, and leader I will be. I left invigorated and motivated to apply what I learned – the value of cooperative teamwork, goal setting, vision creation, and self-awareness – to improve my community. Andrea Schronce - The University of North Carolina at Greensboro I came here not knowing what to expect and was blown away by what I got out of it. The caliber of students and speakers here are unmatched compared to any other leadership Ive attended in the past. Nathan Schultz - Grand Valley State University
