Student Leadership Workshop Returns!
We are excited to extend learning opportunities to your entire program - including student leaders! Students are invited to join Dr. Tim at the Student Leadership Workshop September 13th, as a part of Conn Selmer Institute Central. Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser, joined by Taylor Watts, will provide students with practical experiences, inspired motivation, and the heart of a servant leader.
