Workshops

Participate in interactive workshops aimed at building better leaders. All our workshops count toward one of our Business Badger Badges and the campus-wide Leadership Certificate.

Case competitions

Test your skills using real-life business situations. Work in teams to analyze a business case, prepare a proposed solution, and present to a panel of judges.

Service days

We believe good leaders should take time to give back to their community. The ALC provides low-commitment service days each semester. We provide transportation and food for all participants.

Leadership conferences

Leadership conferences provide an opportunity for you to delve deeper into a variety of leadership topics, while sharing your own experiences and networking with your peers.

Business Badger Badges
