Igniting ideas, powering what comes next.

We’re excited to introduce the Spark & Lead Workshop Series, a year-long set of learning and social opportunities designed to help student groups thrive: building leadership skills, creating stronger connections across campus, and teaching practical tools to take groups to the next level. Each month has a theme, with workshops, socials, and advising opportunities to match, and many offerings are tailored to cohorts.

February: Creative Solutions Month

February’s Spark & Lead lineup focuses on training and skill-building to help your Org develop and thrive!

Highlights:

Travel Training for Officers
