How to Lead with Omicron Delta Kappa in Lexington, Kentucky

It’s crazy to think how long I’ve been with this organization because it’s been over five years already. I’ve done a few conferences, reunions with other leaders from my previous conference, surrounded myself with like minded students/ professionals, been appointed to the Board of Trustees, and I could probably ramble on forever about what I’ve participated with this organization.

I love Omicron Delta Kappa and everything it stands for.

Being a part of this prestigious honor society has opened so many doors for me and I’ve loved creating relationships with my mentors too. We get to travel to all kinds of cities and still not get crazy with each other there!

We were able to listen to some speakers as well, and there were a few quotes I took out of their speeches that I think may be beneficial to how we live our lives.

Dr. Everett [1981, University of Alabamas: Music and the Arts]
  • Be the champion of your own ideas.
  • Leaders have a vision. They know where to go rather than what is present.
  • Kentucky is all about basketball, bourbon, and horses. (Which is very true!)
  • Hire people with passion and flexibility.
  • Lead with grace, humility, and humbleness.
Dr. McElroy [2005, Marshall University: School of Medicine]
  • She was nerdy but never alone.
  • Always have flexibility in your school/ job.
  • Believe in your leadership and then others will see it.
  • Hosts two podcasts: Sawbones and Still Buffering.
The Conference in a nutshell

I also did some speaking to other students, which was exhilarating. I love being able to help them in their journey and connect them to other students/ advisors that may have goals in common.

As Board of Trustees, Student Vice Chair and Chair of Student Advisory Board, I felt a little pressured but also comfortable because I knew my team from meetings all year and I had worked with the staff to ensure that we came prepared. The leadership is unparalleled in this organization and I hope to be a part of it forever.

A part from the conference, we did lots of exploring in Lexington. While we stayed within reach, we still enjoyed the city to the fullest. Thankfully, we had transportation, so we were able to get around more so. We walked the streets of Kentucky looking for the best dessert spots, because I have the biggest sweet tooth. What else is new?! We couldn’t NOT stop for bourbon. Did some tastings... you know, the good stuff. It’s definitely a place I didn’t think I would enjoy as much as I did.

Until we meet again!
