Come and meet your cohort!

The Barger Leadership Institute (BLI) is excited to invite students enrolled in ALA 175 to our Leadership Lunch that is designed exclusively for the Fall 2020 cohort of our ALA 175 Leadership Lab!

Come and meet and get to know other students enrolled in the class through conversation and games this Friday on Zoom!

Through BLI, students can cultivate their leadership skills through securing a project grant to work on a passion project, attending an access opportunity from Detroit to Japan, working on mindfulness at workshops, and enjoying a dinner with alumni!

Learn more about what the BLI is and how we create authentic learning experiences in leadership -- and have a little fun on a Friday afternoon!

Do you want to make sure your vote counts? Is registering to vote confusing? Join the BLI on Monday, 10/19, for a special voting event with Turn Up Turn Out President Josiah Walker.

Josiah will virtually walk students through how to fill out Michigan's online voter registration if they have a state-ID or driver's license and how to fill out the paper form if they do not. He will also offer tips for what to do as it gets closer to the election date and will answer all of your voting-related questions!

Why October 19?
If you’re registering any other way than in person at your township's clerk's office, in order to vote in the November 3, 2020 election, your completed voter registration application must be received or postmarked by October 19, 2020.
