Registration will be open November 1st - February 1st, or until maximum capacity is reached.

High School Leadership Conference (HSLC) is an on campus event hosted by qualified Auburn University students for high school students in Alabama and surrounding states. The purpose of this conference is to give high school students the tools they need to become successful leaders in both their schools and communities. We accomplish this mission through breakout sessions, guest speakers, service learning as well as team building exercises that are designed to develop each students' character and challenge their leadership abilities. Our goal is for students to leave more confident in their leadership skills and for students to use these skills to make their school and community a better place.

Any student currently in high school (10th – 12th grade) is invited to join us for a day of leadership, fun and fellowship!

Conference check-in will take place from 8:30 A.M. to 9:15 A.M.

The conference will begin at 9:30 A.M. and will end at 2:45 P.M.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When arranging transportation, please note that all times mentioned are in Central Standard Time.
