Students study leadership at BBC summit


On Saturday, Feb. 6, more than 220 students attended the 13th annual Student Leadership Summit at the Biscayne Bay Campus. Founded and produced by the Center for Leadership and Service, the one-day conference gives students the opportunity to learn about leadership; self-awareness and development; strategic planning; group dynamics; and several other leadership competencies from faculty, staff and graduate students.

This year’s keynote speaker was Alex Chacon, a student who sold his belongings 3 years ago to travel the world on a motorcycle. He has since visited 5 continents, more than 41 countries and traveled 124,000 miles – all while becoming a social media influencer, professional photographer and international blogger.
