Last weekend, 100 student leaders from across the country gathered in Columbus, Ohio for Gamma Iota Sigma's 2018 Leadership Symposium. The #GISLS2018 was a huge success! Among the 100 students were 6 students from FIVE applicant chapters: The University of Texas at Austin, University of Southern California, The University of Texas at El Paso, Indiana University Bloomington, and Mercer University! Our students received an inspiring welcoming address from Gamma Iota Sigma President of the Board of Trustees Glenn Dorr, Hiscox. They also experienced professional development and leadership training from #SustainingPartner Westfield's Andy Farver and Connie Frey. Students also attended an exclusive Sustaining Partner Career Fair, chapter management sessions, Diversity and Inclusion sessions, and more! #GammaIS thankful for each of the students, alumni, and Sustaining Partner industry representatives who participated!
