ETHICAL LEADERSHIP AT ALCHE: Your Commitment

At ALCHE, our community thrives on support, culture, safety, and development. We foster a culture of respect where every member is valued and empowered. We hold ourselves accountable to these values and expect the same from our community.

Why do we take Leadership Seriously?

As an ALC student, you are part of a community built around a shared vision to transform the African continent, specifically its leadership. You are introduced to leadership and lead yourself quite early in your journey. You are given opportunities to lead and held accountable for ethical leadership.

Facets of Ethical Leadership at ALCHE

Consent:

Leaders who do not understand no means no have no place in leadership

Ownership:

Leaders who do not know what to do and who to motivate to help are doing more harm than good

Safety

Everyone deserves to feel safe and heard.

The community is held accountable for the Student Code of Conduct by the Disciplinary Committee and the student-led Integrity Board.

All international students must have medical insurance, which may be ALCHE-facilitated or individually provided. The ALCHE-facilitated plan costs $550 per year.

Clubs and Societies
at ALCHE

ALCHE students can join existing clubs or build their own based on eclectic interests. In engaging with clubs and societies, the goals are education and inclusion; you share your interests with the community to enrich your skills and knowledge. All clubs have staff advisers who hold students accountable to their goals. Our current clubs are Karma FC, Pride+, Thespian Society and the Rwandan Student Society.
