Lead UK Conference Applications Now Available

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 2, 2015)  The fourth annual Lead UK Conference is coming up soon. This year, Lead UK will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, at the Hilary J. Boone Center.  Applications for this year's conference are now available.

Lead UK is a conference for University of Kentucky students who want to expand their leadership skills through workshop-style forums and intellectual speakers. This event is hosted by the Leadership Exchange in the Office of Student Involvement. The conference will include dynamic speakers from the Lexington community and fun breakout sessions from a wide selection of speakers from the University of Kentucky’s campus, the Lexington community, and the region.

This year’s theme is The Quest for Excellence and will include nautical themes throughout the conference. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.

"I got so much information and guidance from the sessions I attended and left more inspired to take on leadership roles and become more of a servant leader," said UK student and Lead UK 2014 attendee Austin Horn.  "Overall, attending this conference was probably one of the best things I have ever done, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to become more involved or if they want to be a strong, cooperative leader.”

Applications are now available and can be completed either on OrgSync or via the link (https://orgsync.com/92337/forms/113135).
