From November 7-9, seven student leaders representing three different organizations on campus will pack up and carpool down to Marquette University in Milwaukee to represent St. Norbert College at the Midwest Service Leaders Conference.
Marquette's website describes the event as "a student-led regional conference aimed at helping students develop skills, passion, and knowledge to inspire meaningful service projects at their campuses."
Funding for SNC student transportation and lodging was granted upon application by the Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee through the St. Norbert Student Government Association (SGA). In a letter of grant confirmation, SGA Treasurer Melissa Geier stated, "The student activity fee allocation committee proudly supports your attendance at the Midwest Service Leadership Conference. Sharing information…with other schools in the Midwest serves as a great way for St. Norbert College to show and share our pursuit of excellence."
Senior Caitlin Froemming and junior Sam Hanson of Faith, Learning, and Vocation (FLV) and ALIVE Team will lead a workshop entitled, "Leading Reflections for One-Time Service Events." The workshop will highlight their skill and efforts involving reflection through ALIVE Team events in the residence halls. ALIVE team puts on weekly programs and service opportunities to help students build community and explore questions about values, beliefs, purpose, and callings in life.
Sophomore mentors/ interns Maggie Kitchen, Ellen Majowski, Anna Czarnik-Neimeyer, and Bryant Scherer of Leadership Development, Service and Engagement (LSE) will present on St. Norbert's M3C program in their workshop entitled "M3C AmeriCorps: The Highs, Lows, and Nitty Gritty of Student-Run Leadership and Service!" M3C is a national program through AmeriCorps and Wisconsin Campus Compact that gives college students the opportunity to develop their own volunteer projects, form positive connections, train in service and poverty, and receive a government stipend to pay for tuition and loans.
