Where we do it

 

Member institutions from the academic community are highly diverse in geographic distribution and range in size from roughly 1,000 to more than 50,000 students. Each Alliance member is represented in the consortium by an institutional coordinator. Leadership Alliance coordinators are high-level administrators, faculty, staff, or program managers at their respective member institution.
