    President Davie Jane Gilmour opens the daylong event, applauding students' first step at "making a difference on campus and in the lives of others."Grove's "Reflection and Preparation" activity, a work-in-progress for prospective student leaders, encouraged respondents' self-assessment as a tool to make new friends.Applicants in four categories of paid student leadership positions – Resident Assistant, Connections Links, Presidential Student Ambassadors and Student College Relations Assistants – kicked off their Super Bowl weekend Saturday with insight and inspiration from an all-pro roster of campus motivators.

    The Staff Selection Leadership Summit in the Bush Campus Center, organized by Meghan R. Delsite Coleman, assistant director of student engagement, offered a varied menu of programming aimed at helping students nurture their leadership potential and become the best versions of themselves.

    Kline engages her audience during a discussion of "Communication and Teamwork," one of three sessions that the job applicants were required to attend. Others were "Passion Into Purpose," with Elliott Strickland; and Pace's primer on "Organizational Efficiency."Delsite Coleman (far left) moderates the Leadership Panel, eliciting perceptive comments from administrators and students.

Malesky, an RA and Presidential Student Ambassador; graphic design student Ally N. Moore, Student College Relations Assistant; Loni D. Kline, vice president for college relations/chief philanthropy officer; and Carolyn R.

Bressler Grove, director of student engagement; a conversation in which panelists answered such questions as, "What does leadership mean to you?" and "What was your most impactful leadership position?"; a trio of concurrent breakout sessions; lunch in CC Commons; resume development with Lizze R. Winters, coordinator of career programming; and a closing message from keynoter Carolyn R. Strickland, vice president for enrollment management/associate provost.
