SLU 101 Vision
SLU 101 answers the need of this generation. We are showing up for a generation that’s hungry and capable of changing their times and their world. Student Leadership University is a leadership development program equipping students through a multiplicity of creative environments and thought leaders. We have one objective, one aim with our ministry…to equip students to think, dream, and lead at the feet of Jesus.
We believe leadership isn’t just taught—it’s experienced. Our goal as a ministry is accomplished through a scope and sequence, born from biblical ideas and experienced by over thousands of students over 30 years. At every SLU 101 conference a student will learn these 10 pillars of leadership:
What You'll Experience
- Access to a variety of dynamic speakers and thought leaders with experience in apologetics, business, and entertainment
- A virtual environment that requires grit and mental toughness
- Ability to start the leadership journey no matter where you are
- 10+ sessions of content that equates to an entire year’s worth of leadership development
- The ability to engage with people from around the country and world
- A SLU 101 Journey Box full of weighty and valuable content that will help you engage with the sessions and keep permanent reminders of what it means to be this kind of leader
- The space to reimagine what the world can look like if this cohort of the brightest minds of this generation would dream big for the glory of GodSLU 101 answers the need of this generation.

To set yourself up for success, we recommend that you attend this conference just as you would if you were attending in person at a nice hotel. You will not be shown in the video at any time, but we believe the way you dress does reflect how serious you will take yourself and this learning journey.
You are welcome to participate as a group! You can stream the conference on one big screen and have each student logged in on their own devices. Either way, we recommend having debrief sessions at the end of each day. This can be accomplished on your own via video chat or by gathering together.
