Inspired by “California Dreamin’” these sessions help leaders imagine, build, and sustain their dreams. Leaders don’t just imagine possibilities but they make them real.

Education Sessions provide an opportunity for individuals or small groups to share their learning and leadership experience to peers in short 20-30 minute presentations. This is an opportunity to showcase the unique initiatives that your institution is a part of! 

Submissions are now open through these links for both delegates and advisors!!

Deadline: October 29, 2025

D- Development: Personal & Professional Growth 

Focus: Build the tools and skills needed to thrive as a student leader and beyond! Sessions may focus on communication, confidence, delegation and career building. 

R- Resilience: Wellness & Balance

Focus: Leadership can be tough- resilience is what keeps us going.  Learn about stress management, self-care, and keeping motivation through challenges.
