Virtual
The Leadership Alliance National Symposium (LANS) is a premier national conference that provides undergraduates with opportunities for professional development, research presentation, and meaningful networking with peers, faculty, and professionals across disciplines.

Since 1995, the Leadership Alliance National Symposium (LANS) has been a pivotal gathering for undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, faculty, and program leaders committed to advancing diversity in research and academia.
This year’s theme, “30 Years of LANS: Connected by Purpose, United by Progress,” honors three decades of building a nationwide community of scholars through research presentations, mentoring, and professional development. With over 5,500 SR-EIP participants and nearly 1,000 doctoral degrees earned by Alliance alumni, LANS continues to empower future leaders across disciplines.
As we reflect on our history, we remain dedicated to broadening access, fostering innovation, and shaping the future of the academic and research workforce.
