After the 2-Day Introductory Sessions, students will be prepared to put their leadership skills into action by participating in Action Team projects that make a positive impact on our campus and in our communities. The SLI Actions Teams will share their experiences and projects at our culminating Pinning Ceremony and Celebratory Dinner.
