The Inauguration of the President and Vice President is a momentous occasion. The University Presidential Inaugural Conference (UPIC) places the strictest limitations on available space and eligibility.

Participation in the Conference is reserved exclusively for alumni of the National Youth Leadership Forum (NYLF), the Congressional Youth Leadership Council (CYLC) and the International Scholar Laureate Program (ISLP) and members of select honors societies who are enrolled in a post-secondary program at the time they attend the Conference. Scholars who have attended these programs have met the academic requirements and have demonstrated the leadership qualities necessary to make a positive contribution to the quality and integrity of this historic inaugural conference.
