Keynote Sessions

Session Name Presenter Description
Make This Moment Count Dr. Donald Coleman Jr. - Leadership Coach & Facilitator What you are doing at this very moment is preparing you for your future. Our lived experiences are moments that prepare us for how we show up in the world and who we are as leaders in our communities and our careers. Moments happen to us, but most importantly, you can cultivate moments. The presenter works with leaders from top companies worldwide and wants to share lessons from these leaders on essential skills you will need in the future. Let's discuss how to cultivate moments that matter the most for your future career.
Evolve Dr. Camille Nelson - Educator, Speaker, & Musician Organizations and leaders must both continuously make tough calls and smart decisions. At times, campus logistics and life, much like the music industry, seem capricious and cruel. It's tough to understand why new rules, regulations, or processes have been implemented or why faculty and student focus has changed. What worked well for many years suddenly doesn't work, and it's our future leaders' job to make sure campus life thrives, not just survives. After all, faculty and students alike count on you to meet university demands while fulfilling your own obligations. It's tough to lead other students and reach organizational outcomes when the target is shifting, but like all good leaders, you need to evolve along with the changes you're experiencing. This presentation will give you the knowledge and tools you need to recognize change at your school, embrace that change, and evolve to meet its challenges. You'll learn that you possess not only solid judgment but the resilience you need to continue evolving. Learn to build a lasting legacy on your campus through adaptation and engaged evolution. 
Mini Student Keynote Session Emily Williams - Senior, KSU Because of her experiences at KSU, Emily has been able to grow her leadership and professional experiences from her first day on campus — quite literally. Starting on her move-in day, she became involved, starting networking, and began her journey to where she is now. From then to today, in just three-and-a-half short years, she has become a full-time employee as a senior in college in a role that she absolutely loves. In this presentation, she hopes to share her experiences and inspire others to get involved on campus as both leaders and professionals.

Day One (February 8) Sessions & Descriptions

Session Name Presenter Description
Identity Impact and Inclusive Communication Ellori White, Diversity Specialist, Diversity Ambassador Program, KSU
Social identities are a personal sense of self based on various identities, including many aspects such as race, gender, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, disabilities, and religion. Often, these identities intersect and yield more complex conversation, which can employ inclusive communication. This training focuses on how to acknowledge and address our different or similar social identities and how to effectively communicate for an inclusive community.
Establish Yourself as a Valuable Employee Tyler Parham, Career & Internship Advisor, Career Planning and Development, KSU Stanford Research Institute International found that almost 75% of an employee's success comes from soft skills while only 25% of their success comes from technical skills. In this session, learn practical soft skills that can be utilized to stand out among colleagues and peers, make an impact on leaders, and grow both personally and professionally.
Humble Brags & Virtual Interview Lags: Ask a Career Advisor Allie Johnson, Assistant Director of Career Advising & Planning, Career Planning and Development, KSU   Spend time with an experienced career advisor learning some top tips, answers to the most common questions, and all things careers.

Opportunities in Crisis: Passion and Purpose in Senior Living  Kelsie Anderson, Culture and Brand Manager, Galerie Living Join Kelsie Anderson in this vibrant testimonial discussion about utilizing your crisis to discover and develop your intersection of passion and purpose. The last decade for Kelsie Anderson has been a roller coaster. From dropout to KSU grad, Kelsie was in her dream job in the newsroom. Within a year, she realized her dream was more of a personal nightmare. In the throws of a personal crisis, her morning anchor told her about discovering the intersection of passion & purpose. After refining her career likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses, Kelsie accepted a position with the senior living company Galerie Living, where she now produces + publishes her own magazine, manages all forms of communications, and preserves the legacies of our seniors.

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome/Breaking Down: Vulnerability in Leadership Ruth Gomez, Junior, KSU/Eunice Cuffie, Senior, KSU [First session description TBD]/ If you don't tell anyone about how you feel, how would they know? This session will be a conversation about how being vulnerable with your teammates can benefit your organization and have ripple effects through their communication, engagement, and accountability. We will explore strategies to open the conversation about emotional and mental health and create a safe space for your team. We're all human at the end of the day, so why is it so terrible to be vulnerable with the people you encounter?

Day Three (February 10) Sessions & Descriptions

Session Name Presenter Description
From Ripples to Waves: Creating Social Change One Step at a Time  Michael Almond, Program Coordinator, Department of Student Volunteerism and Service, KSU  The idea of social change can be overwhelming, especially when working alone. Oftentimes, people may not know where to begin or what social change even looks like. In this session, participants will learn more about different ways social change is enacted at macro and micro levels. Participants will reflect on their individual strengths, abilities, and values, will and walk away from this presentation with actionable steps they can take to promote change within their own spheres. 
Design Your Documents to Include Everyone: Accessibility Basics  Beth Kirsner, Associate Professor of Psychology, KSU, and Jason Rodenbeck, Assistant Director of Academic Web Accessibility, Digital Learning Innovation, KSU   Is equity important to you? Imagine finding a webpage with a big, bold title that sounded really interesting, but the rest of the page was so hard to read that you quickly lost interest. This often happens to people with visual impairments because electronic documents often aren't formatted to work well with the tech that helps them read. We want to teach you a few simple things you can do to make the documents you create more readable for people with disabilities. To practice these skills during the presentation, use your KSU credentials at o365.kennesaw.edu and download the latest version of Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. Contact the Student Help Desk at 470-578-3555 if you need assistance.  
Personal Ownership  Brittney Hale, Sr. Director of HR and Organizational Development, Powerhouse

Focusing on practical competence, during this session, we will focus on owning your own development and taking the initiatives to develop personal effectiveness in a professional environment.

Who you are 2. What your brand stands for and 3. What your brand will deliver.
