Student Activism Conference
About
From lecture halls to student government, leftists dominate college campuses in America. Professors unabashedly demonstrate their bias in the classroom. Administrations give preference to left-wing student groups. Far-left activists use threats, intimidation, and fear to silence conservative voices.
The Leadership Institute’s Student Activism Conference (SAC) equips conservative student leaders to create a sustainable conservative presence on their college campuses.
At the SAC, you will learn how to:
- Expand group membership
- Build coalitions on campus
- Raise funds
- Earn media attention for your effort
- Deliver a message on camera
- Host successful events and programs
- Develop a leadership succession plan
- Expose leftist bias and abuse
This event is by invitation only for select Campus Leadership Program (CLP) leaders. Limited travel scholarships are available.
