The Sanger Leadership Center has selected 48 U-M students for the 2025–2026 Ross Leaders Academy, including 36 students from the Ross School of Business. Sponsored by the Deloitte Foundation, RLA is the school’s most immersive and selective leadership development program. Each year, a small cohort of undergraduate and graduate students is chosen for their commitment to strengthening their self-awareness, experimenting with new leadership behaviors, and collaborating across disciplines. Fellows participate in a year-long curriculum that includes workshops, assessments, individualized coaching, and cohort-based learning grounded in the Michigan Model of Leadership. The experience challenges students to explore who they are, how they lead, and how they can create positive impact within their communities and future organizations.
