About CLA

Community. From the moment participants check in, they become part of a community designed to cultivate ethical leaders. CLA participants will learn together on the campus of The University of Alabama, giving them opportunities to collaborate as peers and engage with UA leaders and Capstone Council members.

Programming. UA and Capstone Council leaders will provide instruction and serve as mentors for participants. Additionally, dynamic speakers will inspire students to be influential leaders for their schools and communities.

Practice. CLA participants will engage in activities designed to put into practice the skills they learn, further solidifying the lessons at the center of the CLA curriculum. (Please note that CLA programming is not offered for credit and cannot be applied toward undergraduate curricular requirements.)

Access. CLA is free to attend, with housing, meals, and activities provided. Because each element of the CLA experience is carefully planned with student learning outcomes in mind, attendance for the entirety of the program is required.
