Effective leaders must speak clearly to be understood and listen carefully to understand. Join us for the last session of the MSLP Presents 2022 Student Leadership Development Series, where you'll explore current (and controversial) issues in CSD, learn about and from your peers, and even connect with seasoned leaders, MSLP alumni and S.T.E.P. mentors. You'll also practice formulating clear and logical arguments, engage in respectful and productive dialogue, and describe leaders' responsibilities around controversial issues. Discussing emotionally charged topics can be hard, but practice makes excellence, and after all, its what leaders do!
