Donald V. Adams Leadership Institute

Founded in 2000, the Donald V. Adams Leadership Institute (ALI) has reached  more than  7,000 students. The Adams Leadership Institute  provides personalized leadership training for students across all majors.  

The  Institute’s  three-tiered  educational series fosters self-awareness, collaboration, and perspective-taking, which students apply to personal relationships, academic coursework, and their professional lives.  

These tangible leadership practices allow students to form an intentional community of leaders, create change on campus, and build lives worth following.  

Your generous contributions help us continue the legacy of Dr. Don Adams and promote student leadership at Drake University for years to come.
