The 10th Annual KeyBank Leadership and Creativity Undergraduate Minority Student Symposium was held on November 2-5, 2017.
Fisher College of Business and KeyBank provided undergraduate business and engineering junior and senior students a three-day intensive camp on leadership, creativity, product innovation, spreadsheet management, entrepreneurial thinking, persuasive communication, and the art of "putting it all together." The event was held at The Blackwell Inn, our campus hotel and conference center.
The Annual KeyBank Leadership and Creativity Symposium is an extension of KeyBank's recruiting efforts partnered with Fisher and many of the College's peer institutions.
Each participating university had the opportunity to nominate two ethnically under-represented students whose GPA is at least above 3.0 (preferences 3.4 or greater). About 40 students from business and engineering programs are annually selected to participate.
This three day event provides a competitive forum for skill building in the following areas:
- Leadership training
- Creativity and the power of creative thinking
- Product innovation and new product development
- Spreadsheet management and analysis
- Entrepreneurial theory and practice
- Persuasive communication
Approximately 40 students from universities around the country had the opportunity to join us for this exciting experience. Participants engaged in an intensive series of workshops focusing on the areas listed above. Thanks to the generous and active involvement of the KeyBank organization, specific examples of the banking industry were highlighted. Students had an opportunity to receive individual awards ranging from $300 - $500 and to receive participation allowances ranging from $200 - $400. Participants received complimentary housing and meals at the Blackwell Inn. A special consideration was given to students who had student organization executive board experience (President, Vice-President, Treasurer, or Secretary) and to students who registered early.

Modules for the Symposium
- Leadership
What do we know about effective leaders? Who are they? What traits do they possess? What practices do they implement in leading organizations? Effective leadership can trigger the value chain in organizations, or it can become the single biggest obstacle to overcome.
- Creativity
This module is linked with the product innovation module. It will introduce students to the power of creative thinking by taking them through problems where creative solutions are demanded.
- Product Innovation
The students who participate in this module will understand the process of innovation, propose new product ideas, and defend them in a formal presentation setting.
- Spreadsheet Management & Analysis
This module will help students understand the use of spreadsheets in management decision-making, as well as guide them through a routine management problem where they make decisions based on spreadsheet analysis.
- Entrepreneurship
This module takes students through the process of evaluating new ideas and the steps needed to implement those ideas.
- Presentation Skills
Effective presentation skills are critical to your professional and personal success. This module focuses on presentation style for different audiences, content, and how you can deliver an effective analysis of a challenge or problem facing an organization.
