Leadership Luncheon Series

The Leadership Luncheon Series is a once a month program that will take place throughout the academic year. Students will receive a free catered lunch and will have the opportunity to improve their leadership knowledge and skills through discussion led by a facilitator. Due to space constraints, each luncheon will be limited to the first 30 students who email RCCL at leadership@rochester.edu to submit their RSVP. Please note that undergraduate students will be given preference in this process.  Students who submit an RSVP will receive a confirmation response with further details.

Have great ideas for future topics?  Have suggestions of faculty, staff, or community members who would make great facilitators?  Email RCCL at leadership@rochester.edu. We are always looking for new ideas to be used in the future!
