Session information

The Leadership Challenge: Presentation by Melisa Williams, Director of Student Involvement Are you and your leaders ready to lead? Learn more about The

Leadership Challenge model and how this powerful collection of

leadership assessment tools help seasoned and aspiring leaders alike

deliver on the promise: better leadership = better results. Follow up

meeting Friday, December 3, 2010.

Motivation and Networking: Presentation by Mark Suida, Associate Director of Campus Life, Fredonia Developing the Leader in You – this workshop will allow students to un-

cover their core values and develop a personal mission statement. A

leader must know who they are to stay on course and remain motivated

in both good and challenging times.

Letter to yourself: Presentation by Sarah Frank, Residence Director

Writing a letter, or even a short note, to yourself can be a very powerful

experience. It can bring you comfort, encouragement and strength, like

having a conversation with a friend who knows you intimately, loves you

unconditionally and sincerely wants to help you improve what needs

improving, overcome difficulties and feel okay about yourself. Even if

you confront yourself, the process can be healing because it allows you

to encounter your doubts or challenges in a supportive, non-critical

way. Write a letter to yourself that simply reminds you why you chose

to be student leader and why you came on this retreat and why you love

who you are and what you do at Medaille College. Faces of Medaille Presentation by Melisa Williams, Director of Student Involvement

"Faces of Buffalo", is the first ever community-wide event of its kind

in that everyone is welcome to participate each year by creating their

self portraits and other drawings to be united into beautiful mosaics

representing the community. Medaille college has commissioned artist

Brian Nesline to recreate the Main Building with faces from our Medaille

community. Take a few minutes to add yourself to our community of

faces.
