At the BLI, we love connecting with people. On February 7th, we hosted Leadership Extravaganza, the ultimate event where students gathered to discover campus opportunities and connect with 22 organizations from across campus!  Beyond recruitment, Leadership Extravaganza brought together leaders from all corners of the university in an opportunity to build connections. Org reps engaged with and inspired the next generation of leaders in two action-packed hours in the LSA building. Almost 200 students came to learn about campus opportunities and stayed for the coffee and cupcake treats, selfie opportunities with Bargie Beaver (BLI’s mascot), and, of course, free swag.
