4. NCSL FALL 2013 Conference2
Welcome to the 76th assembly of the National Conference on Student
Leadership. By choosing to join us here in Arlington you have an opportunity to grow
as a leader, as a student, and as a member of your community. Take advantage of this
opportunity: show up for every session, keep an open mind, and engage with your
fellow delegates and presenters.
5 tips for getting the most value from being here …
1. Grow Your Network. We encourage you to meet and network with other
conference delegates by attending the keynotes, welcome reception, workshop
sessions, shared meals, and special events. Set goals for the kinds of connections
you want to make. Reach out to other delegates fearlessly and plan how you will
follow up with them.
2. Get Smarter. Use the conference app or the planning grid on pages 8 and 9 in
this program to create your Friday and Saturday workshop schedule. Be prepared
to take notes with pen and paper or your tablet. Discuss the sessions with others.
Introduce yourself to speakers and ask questions.
3. Share Content. To get the most out of each session, plan to share content with
your team. You’ll learn more and multiply the value of one person attending a
workshop. Knowing that you will share new information helps you focus on
takeaways and practical information.
4. Practice Leadership Skills. Be a model for what you know and what you learn
here. Moved by a speaker? Shake the speaker’s hand and share your appreciation.
Go beyond what’s comfortable and grow your network. Participate in every
event while you’re here then work with your team to leverage your conference
experience when you get back to campus.
5. Arrive on Time. Be present and be ready. Being on time is a life skill and shows
you are dependable, your respect for others, and builds your self-confidence.
Plan your schedule ahead of time and plan to be on time.
We hope that you’ll come away energized, with renewed enthusiasm for getting things
done, and committed to taking your leadership to another level when you get back to
campus.

Conference Learning Outcomes
The Social Change Model of Leadership
NCSL student workshop content is grounded in the Social Change Model of leadership.
This model is comprised of seven components that are divided into three groups of values:
individual growth, group development, and societal change or civic-mindedness. All
workshops fall into one of the three value groups, and are labelled by type in the program to
help you create your conference schedule.
Individual Growth
Consciousness of self: an understanding of your own strengths, values, and abilities
Congruence: the process of aligning your actions with your beliefs
Commitment: making promises and following through to completion
Group Development
Collaboration: the process of working with others, using group members’ strengths, and
sharing responsibilities
Common Purpose: working toward shared goals, creating a shared vision that empowers
all members
Controversy with Civility: allowing for disagreement, using conflict to create change,
respecting the values and opinions of others.
Civic-mindedness
Societal Change/Community: seeing a connection between your actions and the greater
good, understanding the higher purpose of your work
beyond your immediate surroundings.
Reflection on Learning
Use the forms provided at the back of this program to record what you are learning in the
workshops and keynote presentations. The form is designed to help focus on “3 big ideas”
and helps you document your thoughts or reactions to those main points. Reflect on how
you can apply these ideas and write down your questions for further exploration on the topic.
Write down your reason for attending the workshop when you enter the session as a way to
focus on the information you’re looking for. Each workshop falls into one of three types:
individual growth, group development, or civic-mindedness.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION
Are You the World’s Next Top Leader?
Joshua Fredenburg, Vision XY
For the past one hundred years, one of the primary reasons why
different generations of people have been able to overcome and
solve various problems within their respected generation is
because they have always had great leaders that stepped up and
were prepared to effectively serve as leaders. Similar to
generations of the past, if members of this current generation are
going to overcome and solve some of the major issues affecting
our communities, nation and world today, it’s going to take great
leaders who have the skill set and ability to lead in the 21st
Century. Joshua Fredenburg provides emerging leaders with a
solid definition of leadership and understanding of the
importance of effective leadership in today’s job market and
society. Learn practical skills focusing on the inner leader, the
operational leader, the relational leader, and the spiritual leader
to become empowered, excited, and inspired to become a great
leader of the 21st Century to make a positive impact in your
community, nation and world.

build org systems for sustaining a legacy, and how to increase student engagement and ownership.

Wick Sloane, insidehighered.com

The music industry said you have to buy 12 songs at a time, all for the same total price.
Students/youth rebelled and we now have no more CD’s, and music delivered as we wish. Nothing
contributes more to the high cost of college than that students and families keep lining up and paying
high tuition. Federal policies have a huge influence on education at public and private institutions.
Saturday, April 5th, 2014

State legislatures also affect tuition. Silence doesn’t work – or it will get you just what you have –
ruinous tuitions, no quality control. Lobbying legislators will work. Students have the power to
change the system if they will rise up and lobby.

Money Management for Leaders: Your Organization’s Finances
Peter Bielagus, Wealth Educators International, LLC

Peter firmly believes that if your personal finances aren’t in order, you’ll never be able to get your

• If we need more money, what is the best way to get it from the school?
Peter shows students how to create a simple organization budget that actually works. He’ll reveal
his system for ensuring dues get paid on time and even provide real world “pitches” to ask the
powers that be for more money. Participate in an interactive discussion to discover: What
fundraisers are people using? What financial problem does one school have that another has
already solved? Using examples from organizations Peter has worked with, he’ll show you how to
get your organization on the financial fast track.

WHERE SOLDIERS COME FROM - Documentary Film Showing and Discussion
NCSL is pleased to host a showing of this award winning film, followed by a discussion.
From a snowy small town in Northern Michigan to the mountains of Afghanistan and back, Where
Soldiers Come From follows the four-year journey of childhood friends, forever changed by a faraway war.
Enticed by a $20,000 signing bonus and the college tuition support, best friends Dominic and Cole join
the National Guard after graduating from their rural high school. After several of their friends join them,
the young men are sent to Afghanistan, where they spend their days sweeping for roadside bombs. By the
time their deployment ends, they are no longer the carefree group of friends they were before they were
sent to Afghanistan. Repeated bombs blowing up under and around their convoys have led to the new
silent signature wound of the Afghan war, Traumatic Brain Injury, and they have all become increasingly
disillusioned about their mission.
The challenges really begin to surface when they return to their families and communities in Michigan
and try to fit back into their daily routines. Where Soldiers Come From looks beyond the guns and
policies of an ongoing war to examine the war’s effect on the future of these young men, their parents
and loved ones, and the whole community when young people go off to fight.
Where Soldiers Come From, winner of an Emmy for its POV broadcast in 2011 and the 2011
Independent Spirit Truer Than Fiction Award, is a co-production of Quincy Hill Films and ITVS, in
association with American Documentary | POV.
