Leadership Crisis Challenge!
WELCOME TO ANN ARBOR!
We look forward to hosting you at this year's Leadership Crisis Challenge. This year's Challenge is our largest ever—we expect 400+ students to participate and nearly 100 external partners, including you, to attend. This website will provide you with the resources to give you an understanding of the program and the case and to make sure your visit is seamless.
If you have any questions before January 30, please contact Suzy Skrtic at sskrtic@umich.edu. During the program, if you have any urgent needs, you may call/text Suzy at (585) 820-6414.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Leadership Crisis Challenge is a 24-hour business crisis management simulation. During the program, students are placed on teams and assume the role of C-suite executives as they manage an evolving situation. As board members and communication coaches, you are positioned to advance student learning at a critical moment in their experience.
