Peer Leadership Forum Launch

Give yourself a competitive advantage for the final Big Idea Pitch Contest by attending this event!

The Peer Leadership Forum (PLF) Launch is more than an opportunity to meet with your PLF team members — and competitors — it's also a chance to engage in discussions around the three potential topics for this year's Big Idea Pitch Contest.

You will be able cast a vote on your topic of choice and participate in a Q&A with one of last year's competition judges, Meredith Powell.

During the event, the votes will be tallied and the winning theme will be announced for this year's Big Idea Pitch Contest!
