More than 250 students came together Saturday in the Oklahoma Memorial Union to improve their leadership skills at the Leader Summit.
Students attended events at the summit designed to motivate and inform them about skills students can use before and after graduation.
The Leadership Development & Volunteerism office and a committee of other OU faculty planned the summit, which included a drum circle session, motivational keynote speakers and group panels.
Kaleigh Kaczmarek, a student assistant in the office, said OU students come to the Leader Summit because of the opportunities it provides them.
“We make great connections and learn such valuable insight with how to be a successful student, how to be a successful member of the community and even how to be successful after college,” Kaczmarek said.
The summit’s keynote speakers were author Nancy Barry, who wrote “When Reality Hits: What Employers Want Recent Graduates to Know,” and motivational speaker Marlon Smith, who runs Success By Choice Inc.
