Rosary High School Students Attended IMSA's Leadership Symposium

Congratulations to the Rosary High School students who were invited to IMSA's Leadership Symposium on March 7, 2012.

Congratulations to the Rosary High School students who were invited to IMSA’s Leadership Symposium on March 7, 2012. Ashlee O’Niel (Geneva), Rachel Bens (St. Charles), Anne Duhig (St. Charles), Elizabeth Magaiski (Oswego), Mallory Rettenmeier (Aurora), Jenna Streich (Aurora), and Maria Witte (Batavia) were selected because they are innovative, problem solvers who are passionate about identifying root issues with their communities, who have shown interest in creating partnerships with local community organizations, and who are committed to positive social change.

Leadership Symposium was developed to inspire, educate, and collaborate with youth internationally in the fields of Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship, to advocate and bring awareness to global issues and movements, and to make change on a community level.

The symposium served as a powerhouse for cross-communication of best practices and social activism through presentations, panels, round table discussions, and a community organization fair. Participants engaged in small case studies where all parties were able to offer ideas and derive outcomes. The symposium brought to the table already identified youthful entrepreneurs and public leaders active in their local and global communities.
