Adult Information
The adults that attend HSLC this year will get to participate in several sessions that have parallel curriculum to the students. All advisors who attend our speaking sessions will receive a number of CEU credits. We look forward to having our keynote speaker, Dr. Ainsley Carry speak to our adults at one session. It is important to us that the adults learn and experience the same as the students at HSLC. That way, both adults and students can go back to their high schools and take action on their new leadership knowledge.
HSLC Testimonies
“I attended the High School Leadership Conference as a senior in high school and it was the deciding factor in choosing where I would go to college. This is why I will always be grateful for HSLC...”
“The conference brings together a diverse group of people who have a passion for leadership, mentoring, and Auburn University. HSLC is entirely student run, and it's awesome to see what 60 college kids can do to impact the lives of high school students.”
“I had always heard that HSLC was a blast and everyone who had ever been a part of it raved about it. I simply had to see what High School Leadership Conference was all about, and little did I know it would become one of my favorite parts of my Auburn experience!”
