The National College Leadership Conference (NCLC) is the longest continuously running annual leadership conference for Korean American students in the United States. NCLC strives to educate and inspire future generations of Korean Americans and develop leaders among them.
The KAC National College Leadership Conference is an opportunity for young Korean Americans to meet established professionals in their field of interest, learn essential leadership skills to assist them in their future professions, and make friends of other bright, ambitious Korean Americans. The Leadership Conference builds awareness of current and past issues facing the Korean American community, with an emphasis on the importance of participation and the appreciation of cultural identity and roots. Past participants include World Bank President Jim Yong Kim and Korean American Actor Ki Hong Lee (Maze Runner).
“NCLC gave me the opportunity to connect with an incredibly diverse group of Korean American peers, granting me a sense of solidarity I never knew I craved. Most importantly, NCLC provided the space for me to unpack my Korean Americanness, and define that identity for myself.” - Audrey Jang, Pomona College ‘19

We'd also like to thank our generous sponsor, Mr. Keith Kim, for his continued support of the National College Leadership Conference.
