The BLI was founded in 2007 to provide student powered but faculty guided opportunities for leadership development to Michigan undergraduates. The institute has evolved and grown dramatically over the last ten years and we are poised to expand our reach and our programs into the next decade. Please join us to celebrate this milestone and help envision our future. We welcome alumni, supporters, and partners from on and off campus to join us for a public event on Friday, September 15, 2017.

The BLI student showcase is an opportunity to engage with students and learn about their involvement with the institute.

The showcase will feature an interactive panel presentation and discussion to explore the wide array of student experiences from across BLI’s co-curricular programming. The panelists are a diverse group of current students who will share their personal narrative with BLI through interactive dialogues.

The poster presentation will highlight the exceptional work of students through a variety of projects, internships, grants, and awards from throughout the years.

Lunch will be served after the panel and we will continue the experience with a student facilitated audience exercise.
