The goal of this summit is to bring together HSC chapter leaders from across North America & the Caribbean to promote unity, foster collaboration, provide hands-on leadership training, discuss brand new chapter initiatives, and strategize on how to best lead and grow an HSC chapter. Along with meeting other chapter executives from around the continent, there will also be plenty of opportunities for team bonding, fun, and games during the summit.

A draft schedule will be shared in the upcoming days for those who register.

Q: What flights should I book?

Please book flights that arrive at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). The hotel is about 10 minutes away from Newark Airport.

If you’re traveling by train, the closest station on the NJ transit is Newark Penn Station.

Hotel stay and meals will be covered by HSC during the summit. Lodging will be provided from Friday (2/7) afternoon until Sunday (2/9) morning. Travel expenses are not covered in the registration fee. Please make your own arrangements. We can assist in picking appropriate arrival and departure times.

We highly recommend students to work with their university student body to get reimbursement for the registration fee and travel expenses – we can send you a formal invitation letter that students can use to submit to the University along with the funding request. Please contact [email protected] to set up a meeting with us on how to request funds from your university.
