Organizations offering workshops

Students have the opportunity to connect directly with first-year students by hosting professional development workshops. Each workshop will be led by student leaders from across campus and will focus on the eight Heavener competencies, which represent the eight traits that employers look for in their hires.

Attendees will choose two workshops to attend—one in the morning and one in the afternoon—to cultivate their experience at the Summit. Every workshop is designed to provide invaluable advice for students to apply in their academic and professional lives.
