The 2025 UC Merced Student Leadership Conference Committee is looking for workshop presenters!
This year, the annual conference is taking place on Friday, September 26th from 2PM - 7PM and our theme is “The Leadership Multiverse: Connecting with Integrity.” For better or worse, we are living in a world shaped by the leaders who came before us - and today, we are shaping the future for those who will come after us. Our actions matter, Whether we recognize it or not, we are part of a deeply connected society. That's why it's essential to lead and connect with integrity. We hope that our conference guides attendees through a process of self-discovery and inspires our next generation of leaders to lead with confidence, authenticity, and creativity.
Our ideal workshop presenters and potential speakers would address topic(s) that align with our conference vision. Such as intergenerational leadership, authentic leadership, professional development, leadership training, and other innovative approaches to leadership and growth. Sessions should inspire participants, spark meaningful dialogue, and equip student leaders with tools they can apply both on campus and beyond.
If selected, workshop presenters will deliver two 50-minute workshops during the conference and receive a $75 gift card and dinner on the day of the event. Workshops will be held in the Conference Center and in GRAN/GLACIER with dinner being offered in between workshops from 5:30PM - 6:30PM.

The deadline to submit workshop proposals is Friday, September 5th at 11:59PM. If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at lead@ucmerced.edu.
