ABOUT NCCWSL The National Conference for College Women Student Leaders is a two-and-a-half day conference to help students hone leadership skills for their work on campus and in their communities. Special thanks to NASPA and the AAUW states and branches for supporting the NCCWSL conference and scholarships. Student Leaders in Their Own Words... Read why student leaders attend NCCWSL and learn about their thoughts and experiences with leadership. Recently I joined a committee on my college campus, to help plan a Take Back the Night Event. This committee taught me how to understand other’s ideas and work towards a positive outcome. Now, I understand the importance of team work and nothing can be accomplished on your own. - Elizabeth M. Corr I took a leadership role was when I became a single mother at the age of 19…now my son is graduating high school and I am pursuing my bachelors degree…if you have the determination and drive you will succeed at whatever life throws at you. - Laquita Humphrey I love the idea of bringing women together for a common cause and purpose. I was attracted to attend because I felt it would be a great opportunity to engage in dialog with women from different walks of life. -Jordan Casteel
