SLS 2025
January 31 - February 1, 2025 | Florida Atlantic University
What is SLS?
“For students, by students.”
The First ITE Student Leadership Summit in Florida was held at the University of Florida in 2018. The summits are entirely planned by students, for students. Through the promotion of leadership and professional development, these events aim to guide future transportation professionals. Approximately 100 students, both undergraduate and graduate, typically attend the one to three day events. In addition, ITE’s professional members typically provide support through sponsorships and participation in the summit’s program.
Since the first student leadership summit, there have been 12 student leadership summits hosted by ITE student chapters around the U.S., Canada, and with the ITE Australian and New Zealand Chapter. More than 1,000 students have participated in these events. They are a source of great pride for both our students and professional members, helping to grow the number of transportation professionals across the world.
In 2025, the ITE Student Chapter at Florida Atlantic University, will host the Student Leadership for the first time ever. The event will take place over a weekend, from January 31 to February 1.
Our Mission Statement
The purpose of the ITE student chapter at FAU is to promote the advancement of transportation and traffic engineering through the collaboration of students and transportation professionals which aims to foster the development of a professional spirit, and to promote a common interest among students to encourage the enhancement and optimization of facilities for transportation and traffic engineering study. The organization also acquaints students with topics of interest in transportation and traffic engineering through the medium of professional speakers and chapter sponsored trips.
Members of the ITE FAU student chapter join a dynamic, interactive international group of transportation professionals dedicated to solving today’s transportation challenges.
