Ron Slepitza, President, Avila University

One of the most exciting aspects of our C-10 program is how our graduating seniors will be able to receive a C-10 Leaders scholarship. On top of that, though, we have partner schools in the region that are willing to go above and beyond that to help the students realize their dreams even more. One of those schools is Avila University here in Kansas City. We are pleased and honored to be joined this week by Avila's president, Dr. Ronald Sleptiza.After growing up in the Washington, D.C. area, Dr. Slepitza has worked at the University of Maryland (10 years), Creighton University (9 yrs), Xavier University (13 years), and now at Avila for almost 15 years. Additionally, he has been involved with a mentoring program through the Leawood Rotary for more than 10 years, is an Ambassador for KC Scholars, and has served on a number of local and regional boards.LINKS:For more information about the C-10 Mentoring & Leadership program for high school students, including the application process for current high school freshmen and sophomores, visit our website.For all episodes of the C-10 podcast and ways you can listen, click here.For more information about this month’s presenting sponsor, Precision Printing, please visit PrecisionPrintKC.com.If you’d like to make a comment, have a suggestion for a future guest, or your company would like to help underwrite this podcast, please visit our contact page.
