Eighth District Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. will host his first annual Student Leadership Summit for high school students in Indiana’s 8th Congressional District on Monday, October 5, 2015 at Vincennes University’s Green Activities Center.

 

“I’m excited to host my first Student Leadership Summit for high school students here in the Eighth District. We have a great lineup of speakers and leadership activities that will be informative for students who participate,” said Bucshon. “I want to encourage high school teachers to nominate students who exhibit strong leadership qualities in their schools and communities to attend. These students are the future of our state and it’s my hope that they will leave the summit equipped with new skills and knowledge to help them in their endeavors.” 

 

The summit is a unique opportunity for local high school student leaders to hear a wide range of presentations from individuals and groups who have one-of-a-kind stories to share about how they have achieved success. Students will also have the opportunity to build leadership skills through interactive activities facilitated by the University of Evansville’s Leadership Academy.

 

Presenters will include Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D., former Indiana Governor and Purdue University President Mitch Daniels, owner of Sievers & Companies Mike Sievers, President and CEO of Bestway Express, Inc. Shepard Dunn, and a panel of currently enrolled college students.
