NCSL hopes you’ll sign up for our Trendsetters! program, donate some items for our silent auction, and participate in the school pride day. Read more about these opportunities below.
Silent Auction
At every conference, NCSL hosts a silent auction to benefit a non-profit organization. Does your school have any cool gear or logowear? We’re looking for anything from school sweatshirts to hats to portfolios (and everything in between)! Bring it along to the conference and drop it off at the NCSL registration desk!
School Pride Day
Show off your school spirit during the conference by wearing school or organization logo apparel on Sunday, April 5.
Trendsetters! Program
Your chance to boast about your best program!
Does your campus take ownership of an outrageously successful program, event, or idea? Are there any activities, service projects, or theme weeks on your campus that you have had success with? NCSL wants to know about them!
NCSL will again host its Trendsetters! program, a contest to highlight the best programs, events, and ideas from campuses across the country.
If your submission is selected as one of the top Trendsetters! programs, events, and ideas, you will be invited to share your submission with all NCSL conference delegates at the closing breakfast of the conference. The top three Trendsetters! will receive a monetary award of up to $100!
After the conference, all of the Trendsetters! ideas will be posted on the NCSL website and may be included in Magna Publication’s newsletter Student Affairs Leader.
