Sponsored by the Office of Student Activities & Leadership, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, the College of Engineering, the International Center, and the Office of Multi-ethnic Student Affairs - Intercultural Leadership Seminar is an interactive 6-day program intended to provide participants with a deeper understanding of how to work more effectively in intercultural settings. The seminar design deliberately addresses attitudes, awareness, knowledge and skills as central aspects to developing intercultural competence.

Because ILS attracts those who are concerned with cross-cultural issues, this seminar allows participants to have the unique opportunity to engage in intensive dialogue with others from diverse backgrounds who share the commitment to increasing their own intercultural competence.
