Student Leaders of Tomorrow

STUDENT LEADERS OF TOMORROW
Conference Description:

SLOT (Student Leaders of Tomorrow) is a three-day leadership development conference for high school juniors and seniors which takes place annually at Texas A&M.

Delegates are students who participate in the conference, and who will be grouped into "roundtables" led by facilitators (current students at Texas A&M), as they move through the SLOT leadership curriculum.

Delegates will have the opportunity to learn from Keynote and Breakout speakers who will share their ideas of leadership and how the delegates can further develop their leadership skills.

Delegates will acquire the fundamental skills needed to become effective leaders, and will be provided the necessary tools to make an impact in their community and continue their leadership development journey.

TEDxLakeTravisHigh: April 2nd









Come and join us at TEDxLakeTravisHigh on April 2nd! 

This, our second TEDx event, offers "Connections" - a theme seeking to understand the connections we long for in each other, the connections that lead to curiosity and understanding about life and the world in which we live, and those connections that make the world a smaller place. It is our hope that, typical of the TED tradition, our talks will inspire the imagination and generate interesting and important conversations. 

Please join us on Saturday, April 2nd, from 12 to 5. 


Testing Volunteers Needed!!
We would love to have 5 volunteers on Tuesday, March 29th and 5 volunteers on Thursday, March 31st to help monitor hallways, etc. during testing.  The times would be approximately 8:45am-1:45pm.
