CUNY SPS Student Leadership Conference
The annual Student Leadership Conference, held each spring, features speakers who share insights with CUNY SPS students. Each year, a committee of students, faculty, and staff selects a theme that fosters meaningful discussions on leadership and community engagement. The conference provides opportunities for learning, networking, and personal and professional growth.
