The all-day, by invitation seminar was held at St. Thomas University Law School in downtown Minneapolis.

ABOUT the Minnesota Student Leadership Seminar – In its fourth year, MNSLS is an annual interactive one-day seminar for high school students.  Through discussions led by West Point Cadets, peers who are being trained at the premier leadership institution in the country, youth participants begin to uncover their values – the principles that remain important no matter what the circumstance.  It is the premise of the MNSLS that values-based decision making is a core component to effective leadership in all facets of life.  The MNSLS is offered at no cost to participating schools and is made possible through the generous donations of members of the West Point Society of Minnesota and 2010 sponsor, The Pentair Foundation.
