Learn. Practice. Lead.
Leadership can be taught. This is the premise of the new Accenture Leadership Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Business.
The Accenture Leadership Center (ALC) provides top-notch opportunities for undergraduate students to develop leadership skills outside the classroom. The center, which opened September 2006, provides a unique laboratory atmosphere that allows students to practice leadership principles through hands-on learning activities and participating in projects.
Learn more about the Student Leadership Initiative and corporate sponsorship here!
For even more information on what the ALC is all about, come join us at Grainger any Friday at 4:15PM for a short information session!
