Inspire Series
Formally known as the IGNITE Series, Inspire is designed to put members on stage to share their ideas, stories or message.
Delta Upsilon's Inspire Series provides attendees of our Leadership Institute the opportunity to take the stage to share their DU story, tips and ideas. These TED Talk-like presentations are a maximum of 10 minutes each and are design to inspire DU brothers, sharing ideas and passion for Delta Upsilon. This series used to be called the IGNITE Series.
After a few years off, Inspire talks will take place at the 2022 Leadership Institute! Apply for your chance to inspire your brothers by sharing your DU story and experiences.
