Frequently Asked Questions

This is an opportunity to develop and enhance personal philosophy of leadership that includes understanding oneself, others, and the community. It focuses on the evolution of delegates into even better leaders. This event which is tailored to both experienced and novice leaders is aimed to challenge delegates into opening their minds to new notions about how leadership should be.

The SOAR Student Leadership Conference is a great opportunity to build leadership skills, as well as network with other leaders within Carleton and professionals in the Ottawa community. The skills developed at this conference will also carry forward in future careers and can be added to your Co-Curricular Record.

SOAR 2025 will take place on Saturday, February 1, 2025.

The SOAR Student Leadership Conference would not be possible without the dedication of its sponsors, Housing and Residence Life Services and Carleton University Alumni Association. A team of dedicated students from the Student Experience Office also supports the ongoing development of the conference.

As SOAR 2025 will be held in-person, delegates are encouraged to bring a pen and notebook with them to take notes throughout the conference sessions. While lunch will be provided, delegates are also encouraged to bring snacks and a reusable water bottle to stay energized throughout the day.

There will be a variety of different themes included in each workshop including personal skill development areas, exploring leadership development and one’s philosophy on leadership, as well as discussing the best practices to get involved and take advantage of Carleton’s activities throughout the year.

Our keynote speaker for SOAR 2025 will be announced later this term.
