Looking for new ways to continue your journey as a leader?
The 2025 Omicron Delta Kappa Leader to Leader Conference will guide students through their leadership experience with "Leading with CARE - Concern, Awareness, Respect and Empathy." This is the 20th annual conference, planned by members of Wright State University's circle of ODK. The conference is redesigned each year around a new theme that ODK believes resonates with each generation of students. Based on the theme, various speakers are selected from notable Wright State alumni, Wright State faculty, or prominent leaders in the Dayton area. This year ODK is happy to welcome Casey Cornelius as our keynote speaker. Casey will share his program The Extraordinary Act of Caring (When No One Else Seems To). This program is focused on re-energizing our groups and ourselves to have more passion and empathy.
Breakout sessions throughout the day will be focused on building a strong foundation of new leadership, emerging leadership, and advanced leadership potential. Sessions will be interactive at times and offer an opportunity to network and meet other conference attendees. The one-day conference is free-of-charge to all Wright State students, faculty, and staff and includes a free breakfast and lunch. Pre-registration at is required to attend.
