Why come?

Why not?
After returning from the NAAUC 2009 Conference, delegates will have been given exclusive insights into college life and a renewed enthusiasm for college leadership. You will come away with a pile of new ideas to benefit your community, in areas such as:

• Event organisation
• Running O-Week
• Operating your committee professionally;
• Accounting, college legalities and incorporation;
• Building community spirit;
• Mental health issues;
• Responsible service of alcohol;
• New and exciting social functions;
• Improving relations with your administration for your mutual benefit;
• Inter- College relationships and their benefits on college environments.

Delegates will also return home with :

• Genuine solutions or methods for dealing with college problems such as pastoral care, personal conflicts, inefficiencies, legal issues and apathy.
• Established contacts with other students and a support network for the exchange of ideas and information across colleges.
• Personal experience in leadership relevant areas, gained through key note speakers, interaction with other students and workshops.
• A formal Conference Report produced after the conference with records of all the information gathered from guest speakers, workshops, role development and discussion groups.
• Motivation and commitment to go back and make a difference in your college with a support network behind you.

For most, the Conference is a once in a lifetime opportunity that has to be experienced to be believed. It will change the way you look at colleges, universities, education, and yourself. It will lead you to question your social, cultural, and environmental beliefs, morals, and standards. The lessons learnt will prepare you as a future leader in society enabling you to empower those around you to unite, and ultimately you will be able to facilitate a superior college environment.
