The National Jesuit Student Leadership Conference (NJSLC) will be hosted at the College of the Holy Cross from July 26, 2023 through Sunday, July 30, 2023.
This annual multi-day conference is held each summer for student leaders from each of the Jesuit colleges and universities to explore student leadership rooted in Jesuit values. This conference is hosted by the Jesuit Association of Student Personnel Administrators (JASPA). In 1997, the mission statement of NJSLC was adopted: “Student organization leaders collaborate to develop ideas, explore student issues, and build stronger leadership skills to better serve their colleges and universities in the Jesuit tradition.”
The College of the Holy Cross is excited to welcome student leaders and colleagues from Jesuit institutions to Worcester, Massachusetts - the heart of the Commonwealth.
