Post date: Oct 23, 2013 8:51:13 PM

Greetings from the Office of Graduate Student Life and Wellness! We are writing to you to announce a unique opportunity for your graduate and professional students. The inaugural MSU Graduate Student Leadership Institute (GSLI) will be held on Saturday, November 16, 2013, at the Kellogg Center.

Graduate Student Leadership Institute: Developing the Leader in You: Know, Be, Do

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." - John Quincy Adams

GSLI is an intensive, one-day leadership conference where graduate students will learn what it means to KNOW, BE, and DO Leadership from top administrative leaders in higher education, faculty, government, and business.

In the face of rapidly changing structures in higher education, corporations, agencies, and other professional organizations, employers are actively seeking advanced degree holders with strong, demonstrable leadership and management skills. It also involves developing interpersonal skills that go beyond communicating with those in your field. Not only will you learn, but you will begin to take the first steps to improving your leadership skills and abilities

The Institute serves two purposes:

1) To provide graduate and professional students the opportunity to grow their leadership skills and to apply this knowledge, ability, and skills to their work here at MSU and beyond.

2) To help inspire graduate and professional students to take an active role in helping to build a stronger graduate student community here at MSU.

Cost: $10

Location: Kellogg Center, Big Ten C
