The Abraham Lincoln Center for Leadership and Public Policy provides an intellectual environment to encourage research and study into leadership theory, ethical practices, and public policy making. The Center raises public awareness of the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln and inspires civic engagement through Lincoln’s enduring example of values-based leadership. In advancing our mission, the Center conducts and disseminates research and presentations, hosts lectures and conferences, promotes the leadership and policymaking skills and practical values of Abraham Lincoln, and supports educational and research opportunities for students, teachers, and emerging scholars.
