National Jesuit Student Leadership Conference
Sponsored by JASPA (Jesuit Association of Student Personnel Administrators)

In August of 1997, at Regis University in Denver, CO, students from a number of the 28 Jesuit colleges and their affiliate universities gathered in an effort to improve the leadership at each school. The original purpose of the conference was to improve the student governments at each university. Now, though, the conference includes community service leaders, orientation staffs, resident housing staff members, peer educators, club leaders, and even administrators.

NJSLC stands for the National Jesuit Student Leadership Conference. Since its premier the conference has been bringing together student leaders from around the nation in order to improve our ability to serve our fellow students. The following mission statement was adopted in 1997:

"Student organization leaders collaborating to develop ideas, explore student issues, and build stronger leadership skills to better serve their colleges and universities in the Jesuit tradition."

JASPA's sponsored NJSLC conference continues to grow around its mission statement, student organization leaders collaborating to develop ideas, explore student issues, and build stronger leadership skills to better serve their colleges and universities in the Jesuit tradition.

After a one-year hiatus, Seattle University is proud to host the 2008 National Jesuit Student Leadership Conference.  NJSLC is a great opportunity for student leaders from across the US to gather to network, shared best practices, learn about themselves as leaders and grow as global citizens. 

We’re excited to add new features to the conference this year, such as tracks organized by functional area to help students focus their learning and a professional development component for staff advisors.

This year, the conference is scheduled for July 30-August 3.  The theme Love, Justice, Community will focus our time on essential values to the Jesuit community.  Early registration, which saves you money, will run through April 11.

We invite you to beautiful Seattle this summer.  Visit the official NJSLC web site for more details at
