History of the Conference
The All-University Leadership Conference is the flagship of UCI’s leadership development program. Established in 1984 by Executive Associate Dean of Students Randy Lewis, the conference was re-named the Randy Lewis All-University Leadership Conference upon his retirement from UCI in 2006.
This program is the only one of its kind among the University of California campuses. UCI’s Chancellors and other campuses executives, faculty, and staff, have participated in this program since its inception. The number of conference “alumni” exceeds 7,750 students.
