The BLI Leadership Retreat in Detroit
2025 Theme: Foster Well-being and Resilience
Today’s leaders must contend with many challenges locally and globally. As a community of leaders, we have identified several interrelated challenges that we want BLI students to contemplate, collaborate, and engage with. We believe building capacity in these areas will prepare Michigan students to be effective leaders who address these BIG questions with grace and humility. Our 2025 theme for the Social Transformation Fellows and the Detroit Retreat is Fostering Well-being and Resilience.
During this retreat, we will hear from leaders who have made Detroit their home and learn how they contribute to their communities and use technology to make a lasting social impact. The retreat will feature leadership learning visits to iconic Detroit institutions, unique-to-Detroit restaurants, and engaging group activities and reflections.
