About NCSL

NCSL Mission Statement: The National Conference on Student Leadership equips collegiate student leaders and their advisors with comprehensive tools to achieve their leadership potential and positively impact their campuses and communities through practical, focused training and opportunities to collaborate with other student leaders.

For over thirty years, the National Conference on Student Leadership (NCSL) has been bringing collegiate student leaders and advisors together from across the nation. National conferences are scheduled annually in locations across the country, featuring a blend of keynote speakers and workshops focused on leadership enhancement and student affairs issues. Participants come with the common goal to enhance their leadership knowledge and abilities in order to make a positive impact on student life at their campuses. Year after year, students and advisors choose NCSL because they know they will receive:

• Development and refinement of skills and characteristics that advance the sustainability of organizations and campuses, while also increasing success as a collegiate student leader
• Multi-faceted education on diversity and essential tools to become an advocate for social justice on campus
• Dissemination of proven individual and organizational strategies for success on campus and in the greater community
• A collection of resources and a network of collegiate student leaders, student affairs staff, and expert presenters focused on and committed to developing and improving campus communities.
• Access to quality programming that has been developed and refined over the course of 30+ years of student leadership conferences

Attendee demographics

Students make up approximately 80% of our conference attendees, while the remaining 20% of participants are professional staff. The students are leaders at their college or university, often involved in student government, campus activities board, or other extracurricular organizations. They usually hold a position of leadership in one or more organizations and are often responsible for suggesting or booking speakers and presenters for leadership retreats, trainings, and other campus functions. Schools send groups of 2-30 students with 1-5 professional staff advisors.
