LIFE Conference
Leadership Institute for Educators
The Leadership Institute for Educators (L.I.F.E.) Conference is for faculty and staff at universities who are teaching and applying servant leadership principles, as well as those who are interested in learning how they might do so. Topics typically include teaching servant leadership through activities programs, residential programs, and classroom instruction; funding servant leadership programs, endowed chairs, and scholarships for students committed to service; and applying servant leadership principles to university governance. The conference is designed to be an opportunity for faculty and staff to learn from each other by sharing information about their programs, challenges, and current progress.
