Rackham Graduate School is excited to announce a new opportunity to gain practical skills for engaging across differences within our research and professional communities, including real-world examples from U-M alumni.
The Research Leadership in a Global Context certificate program is an eight-week professional development program that prepares graduate students and postdoctoral scholars to lead research with clarity, confidence, and cultural awareness. Designed for scholars working in increasingly global, interdisciplinary, and collaborative environments, the program integrates leadership development, intercultural understanding, project management, and ethical research practices.
Participants build concrete skills for leading teams, navigating complex research settings, and preparing for diverse career paths within and beyond academia. By pairing weekly workshops with peer feedback groups and individualized feedback through the Cultural Intelligence (CQ) framework and the Michigan Model of Leadership (MMoL), the certificate creates a supportive environment for reflection, growth, and practical skill-building.
Learning Objectives:
Leadership: Cultivate the ability to lead research with effective communication and strategic decision-making.Career Management: Develop personalized career strategies as graduate scholars to prepare for professional paths both within and beyond academia.Social Responsibility: Build knowledge and critical thinking skills to address local, national, and global challenges in research and professional environments.Intercultural Understanding: Enhance cross-cultural collaboration skills by understanding and respecting cultural differences in your scholarship, including research, teaching, and service.Engaging Across Differences: Foster research environments that recognize and thoughtfully engage multiple viewpoints.
Please note: You are required to attend an information session to apply for the Research Leadership in a Global Context certificate program.


Reach out to rackhamcert@umich.edu with any questions regarding the certificate. Please contact with rackhampdeworkshops@umich.edu with any registration questions.

Did your spouse, partner, children, or other family members move to Ann Arbor with you? This series is designed primarily for accompanying family members—especially those with F-2 or J-2 status—who will be living in the Ann Arbor community long-term.

Participants can explore helpful resources, practice everyday English, learn about Ann Arbor, and connect with other international families. Anyone may attend, and children are welcome; however, the series is intended for family members settling into the community rather than relatives visiting briefly for student drop-off.
All events will be led by the Michigan Language Center (MLC) in partnership with the U-M International Center. This series is being offered as part of International Orientation; however, registration is open to continuing students, as well.
