Leader Summit

This year's 2026 Leader Summit: Living in Possibility is captured in a powerful OU historical phrase: "What possibilities!” This was the exclamation of David Ross Boyd, the first president of the University of Oklahoma, when he arrived in 1892. He didn't see what was missing; he saw the limitless potential for a great institution. His vision led to action—creating the University of Oklahoma.

The 2026 Leader Summit: Living in Possibility is your chance to discover the possibilities in you! By attending the conference, students gain the following:

• Unlock Your Potential: Challenge your assumptions and fears through interactive work and bold dialogue, helping you move past what holds you back.
• Toolbox for Life: Walk away with powerful, real-world skills you can start using today—in class, in your organization, and after graduation.
• Lead with Purpose: Gain confidence to think bigger, lead boldly, and create a lasting impact for the groups and causes you care about.

It's time to stop dreaming and start doing. Discover how to take your "What possibilities!" moments to the next level through the OU Leader Summit.
