Beyond offering programs or resources, AALN cultivates the leadership capacity, ethical grounding, and collaborative culture necessary to sustain and advance the field for the next generation.

Our Purpose: To ensure the future of academic neurology by empowering the people who lead it. AALN nurtures a stronger, smarter, and more connected generation of academic neurology leaders.

Our Vision: To be the driving force advancing leadership in academic neurology.

Our Mission: To empower those shaping the future of neurology through connection, shared wisdom, and transformative leadership development.

Get to know the Association of Academic Leaders of Neurology (AALN)! Formerly the Association of University Professors of Neurology (AUPN), we’re looking forward to sharing more details about our new brand with the neurology community.

#AllinWithAALN #AALN #neurology #neuro #leaders #leadership

Over the next few weeks, we’ll fully transition from AUPN to AALN with our website, social media accounts, and other resources.

Pronounced “All In”, our new name reflects our identity as a community of leaders, for leaders, grounded in community, scholarship, and a commitment to excellence in academic neurology and clinical neuroscience.

The text on this image reads, "Important Announcment! AUPN (Association of University Professors of Neurology) Is Now AALN (Association of Academic Leaders of Neurology". At the bottom there is a small graphic of an owl with the words "All In With AALN".

We’re excited to share that the Association of University Professors of Neurology (AUPN) has rebranded as the Association of Academic Leaders of Neurology (AALN)!

Join us in celebrating this next chapter for the association!
