2024 NGLA Annual Conference Evening Programming  

Last Updated January 2024. Subject to change.

NGLA is excited about our Evening Programming for the 2024 NGLA Annual Conference in Hartford, CT from February 22 - 25, 2024.
 

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22 

Welcome & Opening Session hosted by Phired Up (8:00 pm - 9:00 pm)

Join NGLA for our opening session followed by Truth or Dare: We DARE You to Make a Courageous Choice presented by Jonah Mudse

Life is full of opportunities to go beyond your comfort zone. You have the opportunity to challenge yourself… DARE yourself to make choices that push you outside of your comfort zone. In fact, it’s not just right now you have the opportunity to dare yourself. Every moment is a choice. Every moment you can dare yourself to go beyond. You have big choices -- where you’ll live, major, career, who you’ll do life with. Daily choices -- what you say yes/no to, how you spend your time, how you interact with the world. Social Excellence is a choice…a lifestyle choice that guides and informs all your big and small choices. Together, we’ll choose to be engaged, have fun, and step outside our comfort zones to get to know people we would never have interacted with without this opportunity. So, DARE yourselves to be engaged, connect, and HAVE FUN!

The Social Excellence Series is hosted by Phired Up.

One College Nation hosted by Dr. Josh & Ms. Tish Norman (9:00 pm - 10:30 pm)


Did you know that personal relationships land 87% of jobs and 80% of jobs are in the hidden job market? In a study, LinkedIn discovered that 79% of professionals stated that their career progression was based on networking and relationship building.

To help college students develop these important skills, consultants and master trainers Dr. Josh Fredenburg and Ms. Tish Norman created One College Nation!

This highly engaging, interactive, and exciting experience empowers audiences with activities, conversations, reflection exercises, DEI strategies, live music, and insightful knowledge that enables them to develop the essential skills needed for college and career success.

One College Nation integrates activities, dialogue, games, and exercises that support students’ cultural competence, cross-cultural communication skills, emotional intelligence, social awareness, relationship-building skills, and most of all…it’s SO MUCH FUN! Let’s go!!!!!!
