As you know, the Kravis Center Dedication is being held on Friday, October 21st. We want to showcase the best part of CMC: YOU! At the same time, we want to give you an opportunity to network with a few of our leaders! Here’s how it works: Since KLI’s board members will coming to campus on Thursday October 20th, we wanted to create a space for students and KLI board members to discuss some aspect of leadership. There will be three teams each hour; each team will consist of two board members, who will focus on a particular subject of conversation, and you, the participants! The conversations last 50 minutes; the first session goes from 3-4pm, and the second session is from 4-5pm. Each will be located in the Kravis Center. Are you excited yet?! Good, because we’re excited to have you be a part of this.
