The Collegiate Leadership Conference (CLC) is an intensive five-day leadership and personal development experience that takes place each August. Approximately 60 Allegheny students participate in a variety of leadership activities and discussions.
These activities and discussions are based on the themes self, community, and impact, and combines theoretical models including the social change and servant leader models of leadership with practical activities and discussions to maximize opportunities for experiential leadership.
Topics of discussion include self-awareness and values clarification, civility, globalization issues, and impacting the Allegheny and surrounding communities.
All of our activities are participatory, and students are an active part of team challenges and group problem-solving exercises. Students do not need to hold a leadership position in order to apply - the conference focuses on developing student's leadership interests. It is an excellent opportunity to spend time with other Allegheny students and community members to talk about the issues that are important to each attendee.
The conference takes place at McKeever Environmental Center in Sandy Lake, PA. The program is balanced to include time for physical recreation, social activities, and personal reflection. No previous experience with leadership or camping is necessary. Each year, we strive to assemble a diverse team of students who represent a wide variety of activities and interests.
There is no fee for attending CLC.
