SLU 101 Vision

August 4 - 5, 2025

One thinker captivated with God-honoring ideas can transform the future.
One dreamer can change the world.
One leader willing to do the hard stuff can be used to do more than they could ever have imagined.

Thinkers…dreamers…leaders…needed now, not later.

Through SLU 101 Vision, students will be able to experience engaging sessions taught by thought leaders who are experts in their fields, all provided in a safe, online environment. Each student will receive a Journey Box filled with hands-on, experiential materials provided to keep the sessions impactful and life-changing. Reimagining, dreaming and creating are all concepts that we teach our students and they will walk away from this experience with a renewed sense of purpose to become the leaders they are called to be.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the conference cost more for future Charleston Southern Students?

Students who complete SLU 101 and attend Charleston Southern University receive a scholarship (more info here). There are additional aspects of the conference specific to you as a future CSU student such as exclusive access to CSU faculty and meet and greats with other students. When you register, be sure to choose the option indicating you are a future Charleston Southern Student, as this is the only way to be eligible for the scholarship.

How will I access the conference online?

Information will be sent to the email with which you have registered at least one week prior to the event. Go ahead and have Google Chrome downloaded on your computer as that is the best browser on which to view the conference.

Note: If you are a group leader having multiple students participate in this experience with you, contact us for ideas on how to facilitate this best.

How does CSU receive confirmation of completion of SLU 101?

Once you complete SLU 101, we will send your name directly to CSU’s admissions office.  There is no need for you to do anything to confirm your SLU 101 attendance.

Will I be able to go back and watch the content later?

This conference is LIVE with interactive components such as a Q & A time with the speaker just as if you were attending in a ballroom setting. Therefore, sessions will not be available once the conference concludes.

Should I “dress for success” or can I stay in my PJs?

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.

What if I am a group leader and still want my group to attend together?

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.

What is the cancellation policy for SLU Vision?

Cancellation Policy:

  • 45 days or more before event: Deposit will be lost
  • Less than 45 days before departure: 100% of the total cost of the program will be forfeited.

Transfer Policy: Transfers for this program will not be allowed 30 days or less before the program begins due to the resources that will be mailed to attendees.

To cancel or transfer a registration, please email [email protected].

What is in the SLU 101 Vision Journey Box?

A customized “SLU Journey Box” will contain a variety of activities, visual aids and games designed to facilitate problem-solving, imagination, discovery, and analyzing the content being consumed through the leadership development journey. Most sessions will contain something tangible that will encourage and accompany the student in growing in their leadership.

When and where will I receive the Journey Box?

​​​​​​You will receive the box at least one week before the first date of the conference. We recommend you don’t open it until the day of the conference!

If you are attending as a single/individual, your box will be shipped to the address provided on your registration account.

If you are attending with a group, your box will be mailed to the church or school on listed in your registration account that you are attending with. If needing an exception to the shipment location, please have your group leader email your full name and shipping address to [email protected] at least 30 days before the first date of the conference.

What materials should I have available when I watch?

We recommend having a computer or laptop with good internet connection to view the conference, a Bible, a pen or pencil to take notes (syllabus will be provided), a space to watch the conference (we suggest designating one space for both days), and a credit card if you want to purchase resources/merch from the SLU online store.
