This year’s conference will involve more than 350 students from diverse backgrounds and majors at Texas State and other Texas colleges and universities. We hope that it will serve as a keystone of your leadership experience and training. The primary purpose of the Leadership Institute Annual Conference is to bring students together from various backgrounds to learn leadership skills, engage students in values-based activities that foster personal leadership development, build a unified community, cultivate social responsibility and inspire students to adopt a new way of life while expanding their leadership abilities. We worked hard to integrate the Common Experience theme and the Leadership Institute’s core values of Excellence, Ethics & Integrity, Empowerment, Inclusivity, Civic Engagement and Social Responsibility into this year’s conference theme, “Leadership and Justice in the 21st Century.” As conference participants, we hope that you will discover your leadership potential, connect with other leaders, faculty and alumni to learn valuable skills that will impact not just your own lives, but the communities in which you live. Most importantly, we hope that this conference will be an integral part of your leadership journey. Finally, we hope you will find some time this weekend to thank the students, faculty and staff members at Texas State whose passion and commitment helped make this year’s conference a success.

Session Descriptions WHO SAYS? | LOCATION: LBJ 3-15.1 Presented by: • Glynis Christine, Coordinator, Student Emergency Services, Dean of Students Office, Texas State University What roles do socialization and social expectations play on your decisions to serve as a leader?

Ben Nelson III, Rector, St. Mark’s Episcopal Church Bringing practices of mindfulness, healthy communication and spirituality help fuel our passions when leadership is tough.

While being involved and making an impact in your community is important, taking care of yourself and balancing your involvement is just as critical. This panel will discuss how to keep you from burning out and how to be at your best and brightest throughout the full semester. REAL CHANGE – THE ACTION OF ACTIVISM | LOCATION: LBJ 3-15.1 Presented by: • Shannon Fitzpatrick, Juris Doctorate, Attorney for Students, Dean of Students Office, Texas State University We live in critical times and activism is at the forefront of many conversations. However, the question to address is not the quality of existing activism but the lack of far-reaching, comprehensive activism that can have substantial implications and concrete outcomes. Join us as we discuss the need for change and the importance of activism within a democracy. FOLLOWERSHIP: THE SUM OF THE PARTS | LOCATION: LBJ 4-1.6 Presented by: • Nim Kidd, Director, Chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, Texas Department of Public Safety, State of Texas, Texas State University Alumni Much research and attention is paid to leadership and how to improve your skills and practice, but what about the role of followership? In organizations, leadership is not just done by the leader, and followership is not just done by the followers. This session will explore the importance of followership and how it makes a team cohesive. COMMUNITY POLICING: BUILDING MUTUAL TRUST | LOCATION: LBJ 4-1.9 Presented by: • Dr. Howard Williams, Former Chief of Police, City of San Marcos; Lecturer of Criminal Justice, Texas State University • Lt. Alex Villalobos, Chief of Staff, Texas State University Police Department Community policing is a proactive law enforcement strategy that involves building ties and working closely with members of the communities.

This session will explore ways our community is utilizing this approach. 11 2018 Leadership Institute Annual Conference: Leadership and Justice in the 21st Century
