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. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to transform your influence into a powerful force for democratic progress and social equity—register today to help solve the equation for a more just world.

Leadership often means navigating the heavy emotions and resistance that come with major social or institutional shifts. This session looks at the "5 Stages of Grief" through a leadership lens to help you manage the transitions occurring within our own communities. By understanding the emotional journey of change, participants will gain a more compassionate and effective way to guide others through periods of uncertainty. Ultimately, this discussion helps leaders stay grounded and resilient while pursuing justice in an ever-evolving landscape.
