The Leadership Blitz is a free one-day leadership conference open to all students at Seattle University interested in building personal leadership skills. Each year, approximately 200 students from across campus attend the Leadership Blitz to grow and learn together. It is a chance for students to get to know other leaders on campus as well as develop their own skills. This year, our focus is on conflict. We will explore both the positive and challenging aspects, how to inspire controversy with civility and tools for resolving conflict. Participants will learn about their own approach to conflict, examine how to surface dissenting ideas within a group and a technique for "mapping" conflict in groups. Our keynote speaker will be Judge Mary Yu.
We are excited to bring a fun, challenging and educational experience to campus. Most importantly, we believe that by learning together, participants develop a stronger community of leaders.
A few helpful details to know:
- The Blitz is open to ALL Seattle U students.
- Sessions are facilitated by Seattle U staff, faculty, alumni and students.
- Registration includes continental breakfast and lunch.
- We ask that participants attend the entire day as sessions build on the content running throughout the day.

- The program is free, but there is a $20 charge for no-shows or cancelations after the deadline for us to cancel meals (April 22) unless there is an emergency.
