LATROBE, PA – The Saint Vincent College Office of Student Affairs is excited to launch The Bearcat Leadership Series, a weekly series of presentations aimed at providing guidance to SVC students as they currently lead - and plan to lead - throughout their lives and careers.

The series will be held in seven sessions throughout the months of March and April and will focus on the person as a whole, covering spiritual, mental, physical, relational and vocational topics.

Each student attendee will be entered into a drawing to receive a top housing ticket or premier parking pass, with their names placed into the drawings once for each session that they attend.

Updated information, including Zoom links and other supplemental materials, will be posted to the MySV portal prior to each installment.
