Student Leadership University 301
We are so excited that you are progressing through the Student Leadership
University journey. SLU 101 and 201 have been amazing, life-changing experiences.
Yet the leadership journey continues. SLU is a progressive leadership program, and for
you the next step is SLU 301.
At 301, the leadership journey continues deeper into history as students traverse
Europe, learning to think bigger about the world. As students experience the sacri ces
made in the past and consider the world views of great philosophers who have paved
the way, they learn that leaders are called to shape history and leave a legacy for Jesus
that is larger than themselves.

Guys should be in pants and long-sleeved,
button- down shirts (coat and tie are optional-
not required). Ladies -think professional,
modest attire. No jeans.
We will be heading to Oxford for SLU
Graduation! This will be a special time when all
SLU participants are challenged regarding what
is next in their leadership journey. The time
concludes with Dr. Jay Strack and Brent Crowe
praying over every group of graduates. After
graduation, enjoy a private SLU session with
Brent Crowe in the church where C. S. Lewis
worshipped. Here you can walk along the path
where C. S. Lewis and Tolkien spoke of the
Scriptures and held each other accountable to
their dreams and goals. Here you can walk the
halls where John Wesley studied, prayed, and
prepared for ministry. Visit Christ Church or pick
one of the other grand adventures Oxford has
to o er. Spend the afternoon wandering the
streets of Oxford for shopping and exploring.
Note: You will not have time to change after
graduation and will do lots of walking in the
afternoon so keep that in mind when picking
your shoes for Graduation day.
