Applications for the 2012 Leadership Conference will be available on Oct. 31 at 9:00 a.m. Applications can be picked up in the Student Activities Center.

The cost is $50 cash for each student and is best to be paid at time of application submission.

Any student who is currently enrolled in 5 units and has a cumulative GPA of 2.0 is eligible. For new students, without a cumulative GPA, only the units and current semester GPA are taken into consideration.

While applications are still accepted until Nov. 18.

Holly Bogdanovich, director of student activities, mentioned that last year the day after the applications were made available, they were full by noon.

Despite this Bogdanovich still encourages getting on the wait list.

She informs that there are drops every year and being on there is still a good chance of being accepted while on the wait list.

If the applicant is involved in clubs on campus, then that person should be sponsored by the club. Approximately, up to four students from each club would be accepted to keep a diverse ratio.

The conference typically consists of seven workshops with focuses on leadership, team-building, etc. They are interactive courses with new speakers each year, so even those who have been years before will find something fresh.

The conference is over three days, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The $50 payment covers entrance as well as the bus ride.

Former participant Daniel Fragoso, a commissioner of ICC, encourages people to apply.

“[The conference] is great to build leadership skills that can be applied here at Cerritos College,” he said
