Register now and reserve your spot for the 2017 Lilly Scholars Network (LSN) Retreat!
This year's theme is INvested: Giving Back in Indiana & Beyond. We look forward to celebrating our community of scholars as we come together to serve, develop our leadership skills, and learn more about how to give and live philanthropically.
Don't miss this opportunity to get to know current and alumni Lilly scholars from all over the state! Whether you're a collegiate scholar who is interested in learning more about our LSN collegiate chapters, or an alumni scholar looking to build your network and cultivate your community leadership skills, this half day retreat is for you!
We'll kick off the morning with a service project as we help the Indiana Sports Corporation host Corporate Challenge at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We'll gather for breakfast inside the track with a brief meet and greet and warm up for our day before splitting into groups to help oversee organizations face off in various sporting events. Once we've wrapped up our fun in th sun and have a couple hours of community service under our belts as well as a good meal, we'll head to Speedway Indoor Karting's fantastic event space to enjoy networking followed by a keynote speaker and other programming. In the spirit of giving, you'll also learn how you can help expand our outreach by leading a volunteer project in communities right here in our Hoosier home state and around the world through our second annual Give Back INitiative. There's something electric about having Lilly scholars in a room together and this event is designed to inspire you. We hope you leave feeling energized and empowered.
The Lilly Scholars Network (LSN) Retreat is open to all current and alumni Lilly Endowment Community Scholars. This is a FREE event and lunch, T-shirts and other resources are provided.
