Each year, the NGLA Annual Conference is run with the support of a team of student volunteers. These volunteers include both undergraduate and graduate students. This experience is a terrific opportunity to learn about conference management, meet fellow fraternity & sorority members from across the northeast, and network with higher education and fraternal professionals.
Student Staff members assist in conference preparation, registration, organization of meals and activities, and maintaining conference policies and procedures. Student Staff will also have the opportunity to engage with a NGLA board of directors member in a mentoring capacity before, during, and after the conference.
Apply for 2019 NGLA Student Staff
by
December 10
, 2018.
Please direct questions to NGLA Student Staff Chair Michael Davis.

NGLA would like to recognize the leadership and hard work of Tara Leigh Sands. Last month, Tara Leigh and her team worked to review and select our programming for the 2019 Annual Conference. With program planning underway, we wanted to say, "Thank you for your commitment to NGLA’s mission!"

After a group of 13 attended the 2018 NGLA Annual Conference, conversations continued on campus about how to expand the impact of the conference. Typically, spring break is after the conference, which can halt energy from the event. Through conversations with the Center for Social Concerns, Gannon University will offer an alternative spring break service trip to Jamaica beginning in 2019.
This experience will challenge members to live their values and apply what is learned from NGLA immediately after the conference. Jamaica was selected because the community faces challenges similar to Gannon University’s fraternity and sorority community: addressing stigma, embracing diversity, empowering members, leadership, and rethinking tradition.
Applications and interviews were conducted to select the group for next year and members started meeting this fall as a small group. The group will participate in personal and professional leadership workshops to prepare for the NGLA and alternative spring break service trip experience.
