This program will allow students to learn the culture of the
organization and valuable professional leadership skills.  Students will
attend educational sessions, including a lunch keynote address by

Barrett. This program is open to students in all majors.  The program is
open to both undergraduate and graduate students.  To apply students

meals, parking and all conference materials.  The Norse Leadership
Society will find sponsorship for any student that is in financial need.
Applications will be available on Monday, November 19.  The application

in the restroom. All of the thefts occurred during the day between the
hours 11:55a.m. and 3:15p.m.  In each case, the books and book bag were
