Friday Night

    Unlike previous conferences, it is imperative and essential that every participant attend both the Friday portion of the conference and the Saturday portion considering that the Saturday sessions will be based on a self-assessment tool that every participant will need to take on Friday.

    Come prepared to have dinner, then enjoy creative activities with students from around the world, led by our moderator, Salorne McDonald.

Sessions

Unlike previous years, we will not be relying on volunteers to provide informative workshops during the different sessions offered on Saturday. This year’s workshops will be developed to build and develop on participants’ strengths as identified by the Friday self assessment tool.

Saturday Night

    This year we have allocated about an hour and a half in between the last session of the day and our dinner (Dress to impress! Traditional clothing encouraged) followed by a dance party. During this time you will be able to take part in outdoor activities, or watch a movie and you will be able to take advantage of a few rooms in which you will be able to change. Plan accordingly and bring a change of clothes if need be.
