ACC Leadership Symposium
The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) is committed to cultivating student leadership across its member institutions—both through athletics and campus life. Each year, with support from the ACC, five undergraduate student leaders and one faculty or staff advisor from each college or university come together at a host campus for the ACC Leadership Symposium. This annual gathering focuses on a unique social issue and offers an immersive experience where students learn and lead through educational sessions, keynote presentations, topical discussions, simulations, and experiential activities. The symposium fosters cross-campus collaboration and equips student leaders with the tools to create meaningful change in their communities.
