The Atlantic Coast Conference has long supported the efforts of its member institutions in developing student leaders - through athletics and campus life. Through the support of the ACC, each year five undergraduate student leaders (accompanied by a faculty/staff adviser) from each ACC university gather at a host university to study and teach, to swap and share both leadership strategies and knowledge regarding a specific social issue.

2025 Campus Liaisons
The 2025 ACC Leadership Symposium planning committee seeks 34 undergraduate campus liaisons to support and engage with student delegates and advisors from the other 17 ACC institutions.
The campus liaisons are a group of student leaders who will be responsible for highlighting Florida State's spirit by fostering an engaging and hospitable presence to student delegates and advisors. This role will encapsulate an individual's knowledge of campus standards and general history, as well as service as a welcoming guide. Campus liaisons are tasked with serving as the main point of contact to other institutions prior to and during their stay in Tallahassee.
The Campus liaison application deadline will be on Oct. 21.
