Campus Network Summer Leaders' Summit 2024

We're excited to invite your chapter to send two student leaders and one advisor to the SDCN Summer Leaders' Summit in July 2024!

Washington, DC

The SDCN Leaders' Summit (SLS) is an unparalleled opportunity to meet the key leaders in the Network and learn from a special core group of SD student leaders and advisors from across the country. Attendees at the Leaders' Summit plan for recruiting moderators, participants, and holding events and campaigns throughout the year. They also get key content knowledge to guide their approaches to difficult topics throughout the year.

This is a separate event from the Moderator Workshop held annually on each campus.

Who: We recommend sending teams of 3 people made up of 2 student leaders and 1 advisor. This is the most important event for planning how to organize dialogue groups on campus each year through Sustained Dialogue. Remember: your team should be the people most directly responsible for the direction of the SD group on campus this coming year.
