Student Leadership Summit

What is SLS?

A Student Leadership Summit (SLS) is an event entirely planned by students, for students. The SLS is an opportunity to connect with students, faculty, and professionals from around the Mountain District. Planned events typically include presentations, technical tours, competitions, and networking. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet new people, get your name out, and learn about developments in the transportation industry.
