Students are engaging in and leading social change.
How will you become an inclusive, transformational, mindful leader?
In partnership, the Barger Leadership Institute (LSA) and M-LEAD (Student Life) have built a leadership certificate program that utilizes research from the field of undergraduate leadership studies to create a framework that brings together existing leadership coursework and experiences across campus. As the first undergraduate certificate of its kind offered at the University of Michigan, we have curated an accessible pathway for undergraduate students to learn, develop, and reflect on their leadership experience at the University of Michigan.
Leadership Certificate cohort members will,
- have access to funding, workshops, and experts in leadership development
- receive individual professional coaching
- gain the ability to articulate and document personal leadership experiences
- receive a LinkedIn badge, a signed certificate of completion, a graduation medallion, and co-curricular transcript recognition.
Schedule a personalized advising appointment anytime by contacting LeadershipCertificate@umich.edu.
