leadership, service and fellowship. This annual gathering of two-year college honor

century and the promises of the next, in the most popular tourist destination in the U.S.,
Orlando, Florida!
The Walt Disney World Swan and Walt Disney World Dolphin are the official Convention
hotels and the hub of all Convention activities. Because Orlando and Walt Disney World

sure to visit their favorite attractions and still not miss a moment of the exciting
Convention program.

on Thursday and during the Convention's free time on Friday. Also available will be
