Union hosts intercollegiate conference
LINCOLN—On Mar. 29-Apr.2,
Union College will host an Adventist Intercollegiate Association
conference. More than 130 college students from 12 Seventh-day Adventist
colleges from around the United States and Canada will be on campus to
learn leadership skills.
“The purpose of the conference is to
offer student body leaders from Adventist colleges and universities the
opportunity to network with each other and to provide leadership
training,” said Linda Wysong Becker, Union’s vice president for student
services.
On Thursday, AIA participants and 39 students from a Business Policies
class will participate in a 90-minute question and answer session with
Warren Buffet.
Other activities during the
conference include a session by Kris Baak from the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln who will lead a personal constitutions writing exercise
and an evaluation through Gallup’s StrengthsQuest, a test that defines
leadership strengths. A tree planting ceremony will also be held on
Union’s campus to commemorate the conference.
“This conference provides a chance for fellowship and interaction between
students from different schools,” said Jared Gibson, Union student and AIA
president. “It’s nice to see different ways that our jobs can be done, and
how they all work together.”
