The Doster Leadership Conference is a student run event which connects 100 of the Krannert School of Management’s top student leaders with corporate representatives for a leadership conference in Indianapolis, IN. Exclusively funded from generous company sponsorships, this unique event is a life-changing conference for all of those involved.
The Doster Leadership Conference (DLC), formerly the Barbara G. Doster Leadership Forum, is now an annual event with a potentially lifelong impact. The weekend includes a speaker, team-building activities, leadership exercises, a dining etiquette presentation, and informal reception with company representatives and a career fair.
This year, Doster Leadership Conference (DLC) is taking on a transformation that will engage high performing students at each individual class level.
• Freshman students will learn to lead themselves
• Sophomore students will learn to lead others
• Junior and Senior students will be applying mentorship and leadership skills learned at past Doster Leadership Conferences
Through this transformation, our goal is that DLC will become a 4 year experience for students in which they attend as a Freshman and Sophomore and are able to lead a Junior and Senior. As in prior years, DLC is still 100% student organized and 100% funded through generous corporate and individual donations. We believe your involvement in DLC will be mutually beneficial to Krannert students, you, and your company, alike.
