Students and alumni gathered in Washington, D.C., over the weekend for a conference focused on leading, collaborating and networking among alumni. The event, called the Cornell Alumni Leadership Conference, attracted hundreds of alumni, along with current students, faculty and administrators.

Cornell student leaders enthusiastically gathered this weekend to develop their leadership skills and learn from some experienced University leaders, like Dean of Students Kent Hubbell ’67 and Vice President for Student and Academic Services Susan Murphy ’73.

The Student Leadership Institute Conference held yesterday at the Straight was designed to provide student officers of registered University organizations with the opportunity to explore topics of collegiate student leadership.

To attend this year’s conference, attendees went through a competitive application process in which a total of 100 applicants were admitted.
