We would like to announce the winners of our Create Your Own Workshop (CYOW) Contest. After a rigorous process of reviews, and an interview session with each candidate, we we’re finally able to decide upon our winners.
The winners of the FIRST EVER CYOW Contest are four University of Minnesota students with a passion for student leadership and student organization development: Paolo Espanola, Jean Cruz, John Ballesteros, and Alden Chung. They will be facilitating a workshop entitled ‘Black Sheep Strategy: Collaborative Innovation in Student Groups‘.
The focus of this facilitation will be to promote innovation within student organizations. Through this workshop delegates will be able to brainstorm new ideas to adhere to changing demographics, improving technology, and the challenges of a new era, student groups must continue to “do new things” in order to survive.
This seminar attempts to answer those questions and help delegates not only become a more creative thinkers but help them in creating a more innovative organization capable of working with various other groups be it members or affiliate organizations. These four student leaders will take delegates through a fun-filled seminar of ideation sessions, social media campaign discussions, debates, and of course the ability to share ideas with other delegates.
Congratulations again to our winners, and we’re looking forward to having you all as facilitators for our conference! (:
