This was a really great event and it was so awesome to see the students on campus! Kudos to the planning committee.
It’s great event, the more this kind of events take place the better for the community.
This was a lot of fun to go to! I had a great time and hope to go back next year. I had noo idea that there was that many black kids in Corvallis that could all sit together in a room. I made so many new friends from going there and I’m looking forward to next year.
The conference is really a success. Congratulations to the people behind this event, namely the teacher , students, etc. who made this leadership conference great,
