Naval Leadership Weekend

About the Conference

For over thirty consecutive years, the University of Notre Dame has served as the national hub for the next generation of military leaders. Every year, future Navy and Marine Corps officers from across the United States travel to our campus for an unmatched leadership experience.

Naval Leadership Weekend (NLW) is a premier, student-run conference that steps outside the traditional classroom. It gives college midshipmen a rare opportunity to learn directly from top-tier military executives, share ideas, and develop the character required to lead globally.

Through professional workshops, collaborative panels, and keynote speeches from active-duty and retired generals, admirals, and senior advisors, attendees leave Notre Dame with the real-world skills needed to lead sailors and marines on the front lines.
