Delegation registration is available: To register a delegation from your institution, simply fill out this form. Our conference planning team will follow up with an individualized registration form to each attendee to capture their own specific needs and accommodations. All you need to complete institutional registration is a list of email addresses for your delegation, some basic travel details (to assist in our planning), and to indicate how you wish to be billed and submit payment.
Call for Programs is also live: Whether you have attended NJSLC previously, or this might be your first trip, it’s no secret that one of the things that makes NJSLC so meaningful for our students is the quality of programs we provide. The curriculum would not come together without folks like you being able to share your gifts and wisdom with our students. This is also a great opportunity for students to gain experience creating a program and sharing their own perspectives and experiences as campus leaders. Please consider submitting a program and encourage students within your delegation to do the same.

The National Jesuit Student Leadership Conference (NJSLC) is a multi-day conference for all 28 Jesuit colleges and universities that are members of JASPA.
Sponsored by the Jesuit Association of Student Personnel Administrators (JASPA), a different Jesuit institution hosts the conference every summer. The conference provides student leaders with collaborative opportunities to develop ideas, explore issues, and build stronger leadership skills to better serve their institutions in the Jesuit tradition. NJSLC is comprised of workshops, group discussions, social programming, a day of service, and opening and closing banquets.
History of NJSLC
In August of 1997, at Regis University in Denver, Colorado, students from a number of the 28 Jesuit colleges and their affiliate universities gathered in an effort to improve the leadership at each school. The original purpose of the conference was to improve the student governments at each university. Now, though, the conference includes community service leaders, orientation staffs, resident housing staff members, peer educators, club leaders, and even administrators.
Since its premier, the conference has been bringing together student leaders from around the nation in order to improve our ability to serve our fellow students. The following mission statement was adopted in 1997:
"Student organization leaders collaborating to develop ideas, explore student issues, and build stronger leadership skills to better serve their colleges and universities in the Jesuit tradition."
JASPA's sponsored NJSLC conference continues to grow around its mission statement by helping student organization leaders collaborate to develop ideas, explore student issues, and build stronger leadership skills to better serve their colleges and universities in the Jesuit tradition.
