Registration for the 2025 Leadership Crisis Challenge opens on Wednesday, January 8!

ABOUT
Leadership Crisis Challenge (LCC) is a premier action-based learning experience that immerses participants in a simulated business and media crisis, powered by the Sanger Leadership Center at Michigan Ross. Students play the part of executives responding to the issues as they unfold, while leveraging the expertise of communication coaches, faculty, and a board of directors made up of esteemed U-M alumni, to prepare for a press conference attended by real members of the media.

LCC is open to ALL U-M students. There are two levels of competition—graduate and undergraduate. Two undergraduate teams and two graduate teams will receive a scholarship, split among participants. In addition to the competition, there will be educational workshops, a networking session, and access to the Big House field.

Don't miss out on this amazing, one-of-a-kind opportunity! Apply by January 24.
