TASC

Summer Leadership Workshop

Angelo State University

Rough Abstract Star

A meaningful experience that empowers student leaders and advisors to lead effectively in schools and communities.


Angelo State University, San Angelo

High School: June 26 – June 30 (Wed-Sun) | Cost: $395

Director: Lianna Gantz | Consultant: Katie Keyes

Thank you for making the decision to attend summer leadership workshop at ASU! This experience will allow you to improve your individual leadership skills and give you the confidence to go back to your home council and implement what you have learned. Your time will be fun and rewarding, as well as filled with work.


Expect to spend part of each day outside your normal comfort zone. Prepare to be challenged. The staff and your peers will expect you to read, study, think, create, and participate fully in all activities. You will be discussing and interacting with others as you are given the opportunity to meet new friends from across the state. Your willingness to listen to others, share ideas, think, and solve problems creatively will allow you to develop your leadership potential.


At the conclusion of this workshop I am confident that you will be well prepared and confident returning to your school with skills necessary to accept the challenges and overcome any obstacles you will encounter in the coming year, but also anxious to return to your school and make it a better place for learning and growing.
