Midwest HALO Encuentro & Black Student Union Leadership Conference

  • Each Conference accomplishes three goals: (1) to deepen student leaders’ awareness and knowledge of the challenges facing communities; (2) to motivate them to take a more active role in addressing these challenges, (3) to enhance leadership skills.
