What We Do
Founded in 2015, Collegiate Leadership Competition (CLC) provides collegians passionate about leadership with a practice field. Students actively apply their learning via our global leadership competition. We make leadership a tangible, high-impact learning experience for future leaders.
Schools of all kinds participate each year. For instance - University of Delaware, Air Force Academy, Lafayette College, Merrimack College, Johnson County Community College, Western University (Ontario), Bowdoin College, University of Southern Maine.
“CLC helped me practice my leaderships skills that I will continue to use the rest of life.”

CLC AT A GLANCE
Why?
We believe that leadership can be learned. With practice, our participants develop knowledge, build skill, and learn with other like-minded teammates who are passionate about leadership.
What?
CLC’s curriculum explores the attributes of effective leaders, leadership/followership styles, creative problem solving, influencing others, navigating difficult conversations, conflict resolution, ethical decision making, stressors, and effective teaming.
Who?
Colleges and universities identify a coach and recruit teams of six students. Any student interested in practicing leadership is welcome. Throughout the experience, each team member leads one challenge and receives extensive feedback based on their performance.
