Women's Leadership Center
The Women's Leadership Center builds on Alfred University's heritage as the first truly co-educational institution in the nation. Here,
studentt explore and fulfill their leadership potential personally, professionally, and in their communities. We do this by bringing powerful female role models to campus, fostering connections between female students and AU graduates, and offering leadership-building experiences both within and outside of the classroom.

Alfred's Newest Talent
The ANT program offers first-year students the chance to learn the skills they need to contribute immediately on campus in a variety of leadership roles. For more information, contact the Assistant Dean for New Student Programs.
