The Leadership Alliance is a consortium of thirty-three of this nation’s leading research and teaching academic institutions. These institutions are highly diverse in geographic distribution and range in student population from roughly 1,000 to more than 50,000. A core value of each institution is an intimate scholarly relationship built upon student-faculty mentoring, through which opportunities for undergraduate research in the biological, physical and social sciences as well as the humanities are promoted.
The Executive Office, located at Brown University, is guided by Dr. Valerie Petit Wilson, Executive Director.
Each college and university is represented in the consortium by the institutional coordinator. Leadership Alliance coordinators are high-level administrators, faculty or staff of the participating institutions. The coordinators meet twice yearly (spring and fall) to discuss and develop programs, evaluate efforts and share news about student progress, institutional advances, and relevant policy issues.
The following list of member institutions includes the names and academic positions of the institutional coordinators.
