Student Leadership and Diversity Conference 2010
"Leadership and Diversity: Teaching Values"
The Student Leadership and Diversity Conference (SLDC) will take place Saturday, February 6, 2010. This one day regional leadership and diversity conference is hosted by Leadership Programs and the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs. This conference provides an opportunity for University of South Carolina faculty, staff, and students to interact with individuals from other schools in the region. While interacting with others, we hope to create dialogue about the various leadership and diversity topics affecting college and university campuses today.
