February 26-March 1, Leadership in Action Week
In 2024, we are hosting the first annual Community College Leadership in Action Week. While the events will feel familiar, we are packaging them together for one cohesive week of events. These events include the Student Legislative Seminar, PTK, and Community College Day on the Hill. The Student Legislative Seminar will take place from 12pm to 4pm on February 26th followed by PTK that evening. Then, on February 27th, we will host Community College Day on the Hill from 7:30am to 12pm.
The PTK Awards event will also be held this week, but we are reaching out separately to campus advisors for that information.
If you have any questions, please contact Katrina Callahan at kcallahan@ccforiowa.org or Monique Ellefson at mellefson@ccforiowa.org.
