Atlantic Leadership Forum (ALF) Atlantic Leadership Forum (ALF) is a leadership program designed to support undergraduate and graduate students from diverse backgrounds to develop and strengthen their leadership skills.The main goal of ALF is to give students a vision for serving the community with a global perspective, by forging connections with locally, nationally, and internationally-renowned leaders and experts.ALF programs are designed to create opportunities for participants to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of leadership necessary to thrive in their future professional careers. Together with sponsoring institutions, each spring ALF identifies upper level undergraduate students and organizes a Luncheon to introduce them to leaders in the community. This year's ALF is made possible by support from the The Atlantic Institute in Atlanta, GA and Georgia Bureau of Investigation.How can you be part of ALF?If you are a student, inform the faculty members in your department to sponsor you, and have your sponsor contact us.Departments/majors/programs accepted into the program:Pre-lawPolitical scienceInternational relations / Area StudiesCriminal JusticeJournalism / Communication/ Media StudiesSociology/AnthropologyBusiness/MBAIf you are a faculty member and interested in sponsoring your students or hosting this event at your university, please contact us.
