Juniors & Seniors Invited to A&M Leadership Conference

High School juniors and seniors are invited to the 2010 Student Leaders of Tomorrow Conference at Texas A&M College Station. The SLOT Conference gives students the chance to experience college life first-hand while learning valuable leadership skills. Together, approximately 200 delegates will participate in various activities aimed at developing qualities they can apply to their lives. The participating High School juniors and seniors will gain insight from a variety of speakers covering a wide range of leadership topics and begin networking with current leaders at Texas A&M. The delegates will be housed overnight in a residence hall with one or more current A&M students. This weekend's adventures may serve as a deciding factor between colleges for some and a confirmation for others. We are confident that the delegates will leave A&M on Sunday afternoon with many new friends, many lasting memories, and opened the door of wealth of new opportunities for their future.

The SLOT Conference is hosted by the Aggie Leaders of Tomorrow (MSC ALOT), a freshman leadership organization in the Memorial Student Center at Texas A&M University. The conference is planned and run entirely by freshmen members of MSC ALOT.

The SLOT Conference is open to all juniors and seniors interested in learning new leadership skills and embracing new opportunities here at Texas A&M.

Ladycats 46 - Falfurrias 37

"The varsity Ladycats got off to a slow start against Falfurrias," reports coach Joseph Grimes III. "In the 2nd half we were more aggressive to the basket and started making more of the easy shots we got. Our defense did a great job throughout the game as we stole the ball 18 times and limited their chances at scoring."
