Center for Responsible Leadership

Scholarship, Stewardship, Leadership.










You can be a leader. Whether you have always been active in student organizations, or you have shied away from being the center of attention, you have the opportunity to lead at Alma College. The Center for Responsible Leadership will show you how.

The CRL is your chance to develop your leadership skills and apply them to the campus, community, and even the world. Whether it’s the opportunity to build affordable housing through an Alternative Break experience, or the ability to influence United States policy through creative solutions like the Eugene Kenaga International DDT Conference, the options are limitless.

Leadership is important to your college experience. On the athletic field, in your fraternity or sorority house, in the classroom—there’s always an opportunity for you to take the lead. In addition to enhancing these existing opportunities, the CRL will create additional opportunities for you, allowing you to acquire the skills and knowledge to be a future global leader.
