MLK Leadership Seminar Series: Leadership for Democracy & Justice

Presented by the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, we invite you to the Medical School's MLK Leadership Seminar Series to honor the life, legacy, and leadership of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The theme for this year's series is "Leadership for Democracy and Justice," a vital pillar of this year’s campus symposium theme: "Unbowed and Unbroken: The Enduring Struggle for Justice." (https://oami.umich.edu/mlk-symposium/)

Running for six sessions from the MLK holiday through the end of Black History Month, this series bridges the gap between leadership scholarship and the urgent understandings required to navigate our modern political landscape. 

Participants will gain the essential tools and theoretical foundations needed to challenge the status quo and lead with purpose in today's society.
