Humboldt State University will host students and the community at the 2007 Leadership Conference, Ignite: Lighting the Passion Within, Thursday through Sunday, October 4-7. Coinciding with the conference will be a commemorative celebration of the 20th Anniversary of HSU's Graduation Pledge of Social and Environmental Responsibility will coincide with the conference.
The pledge originated at HSU in 1987 and has since been embraced by colleges and universities around the globe. Students and graduates who take the pledge make a personal commitment to lead socially and environmentally responsible professional lives.
An anniversary reception, special keynote speakers, recognition awards, service-learning projects and musical entertainment will make up the four-day program.
Scheduled keynoters include Melissa Everett, columnist, career counselor and author of Making a Living While Making a Difference: The Expanded Guide to Creating Careers with a Conscience; and Professor Joe Martin, award-winning national speaker, professor and author of seven books, including the top-selling Good Teachers Never Quit, and Let Your Leadership Speak.
