A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our latest ICTNext professional development event! We loved seeing so many young professionals come together to learn, connect, and invest in their personal and professional growth.

A special thank you to Percy Turner with the Wichita State University Community Engagement Institute for leading such an engaging and thought-provoking session on "Combating Negative Self-Talk: Projecting Your Professional Self with Confidence". His practical insights challenged us to think differently about confidence, credibility, and how we show up as leaders every day.

If you enjoyed Percy's presentation (or couldn't make it this time), be sure to check out the Professional Development Series presented by the WSU Public Policy and Management Center for more opportunities to continue developing your leadership skills.

Thank you again to everyone who attended—we can't wait to see you at our next ICTNext event!

Your title isn't what creates executive presence—it's how you show up. It’s easy to listen to that negative voice in our heads…but that voice doesn’t speak for who you truly are as a person.

Join us on June 30, 2026 from 5:30–7:00 p.m. at the WSU Community Engagement Institute for an engaging conversation with Percy Turner on developing your presence.

Learn practical strategies to strengthen your confidence, credibility, and influence in professional settings while building skills you can use right away!

Thanks to everyone who joined us yesterday for ICTNext’s service activity with ICT S.O.S.!

Participants had the opportunity to learn more about the organization’s work to support survivors and prevent human trafficking, hear from Executive Director Jennifer White, tour the facility, and spend time giving back through hands-on service projects.

Together, volunteers helped paint, move materials, and organize storage spaces that directly support staff and clients. Overall, this was a meaningful reminder of the power of community partnership. 💙

We’re grateful to ICT S.O.S. for welcoming us into their space and for all they do to support our community.

Check out our website for updates and future events!

Reminder! There’s still time to register for our upcoming ICTNext event with ICT S.O.S. on May 27th 💙

We’re excited to partner with ICT S.O.S., an organization working to end human trafficking through prevention education, survivor advocacy, and community engagement. Attendees will have the opportunity to support the Fresh Start Program by helping assemble bags filled with essential items for individuals experiencing crisis.

Please register no later than May 22nd to help provide a general idea of the number of attendees for the event!

We look forward to connecting and supporting a great organization together!
