Sponsorship
About Our Conference
Illinois State University has been honored with the privilege of hosting a National Leadership Conference from May 22nd to 25th, 2025. Every year, the host gets to choose a theme for the conference. Our theme is “Through the Looking Glass,” centered around the original Alice in Wonderland motion picture.
This conference will unite around 1,000 participants, bringing in college students from across the nation and Canada! We are excited to welcome the NACURH conference back to Normal, IL, after 50 years. We hope this conference will create a meaningful experience for attendees to learn valuable leadership skills, participate in networking, and explore our community.
