20 Campus leaders spend weekend networking EADING THE WAY Take 100 of the movers and shakers on campus, ask them to pack their camp¬ ing gear and drop them off at Lake Fort Smith. The result was Campin’ 95, the University’s Fall Leadership Conference. During the weekend of September 22- 24, more than 100 student leaders and staff members spent the weekend to¬ gether in an attempt to make the University a better place. The conference con¬ sisted of several work¬ shops geared towards teaching student leaders methods of delegation, teamwork, networking, patience, cultural aware¬ ness, understanding and what some consider most important, learning to have an open mind. “I think it’s a great op¬ portunity to share new ideas in the coming year as to how we can improve communication,” Associ¬ ated Student Government Secretary Adria Wilson said. “Having leaders from I ’ve got it! Campus leaders enjoy playing the game Taboo during free time at the Fall Leadership Conference.
