What is the National Collegiate Leadership Conference?
NCLC is a three-day conference that brings together over 500 students from around the nation to participate in workshops, various community service projects, networking activities, motivational speakers, and a dinner with a nationally recognized keynote speaker
What does NCLC have to offer?
Keynote Speakers: NCLC offers two incredible nationally recognized speakers. Join us Friday night for our Opening Speaker and Saturday night for our Keynote Speaker and banquet.
Service: As an integral part of the mission of NCLC, service opportunities are offered at our All-Conference Service on Saturday from 4:15- 6:15 p.m. These service activities provide practical leadership experience and demonstrate the connection between service in the community and leadership development.
Workshops: Workshops are 60 minute or 135 minute sessions and focus on specific leadership trends. Workshops offer participants the opportunity to develop as leaders, including how to interact with others in a group setting and using leadership to raise awareness and give back to your community.
Excursions: Excursions offer a glimpse of Tucson while promoting concepts of leadership in an exciting and engaging environment. Excursions are optional but highly recommended and are held both on and off campus. Not only are excursions action packed, but they also demonstrate that leadership can be found in a variety of different places! Excursions will be held on Sunday, February 16, 2014, from 12:30-5 p.m.
Case Study Competition: This year, NCLC welcomes back the Case Study Competition! Teams of up to four people are encouraged to enter the competition. Case Study teams will receive the case question and will be asked to prepare a poster session in which all groups will participate, and have the possibility to do a final presentation. The Case Study Competition Poster Session will be on Saturday of the conference.
Awards: The National Collegiate Leadership Conference will recognize individuals and organizations whose attitudes and behaviors contribute to the welfare of the campus community in an extraordinary way. We hope to encourage, support, and reward extraordinary people for their leadership efforts and commitment to service.
