The undergraduate student team VictHERs was named the winner of the 2026 Leadership Crisis Challenge, an immersive, action-based leadership simulation hosted by the Ross School of Business' Sanger Leadership Center at the University of Michigan. The winning team included Elena Bressa, BBA ’26, Viveca Henry, BBA ’26, Maria Papp, BBA ’26, Anna Roson, BIEF ’26, Bizzy Webb, BBA ’26, and Sara Zubieta, BBA ’27. 

Held January 29–30, LCC brought together more than 380 students who stepped into senior executive roles during a fast-moving organizational crisis. Rooted in the Michigan Model of Leadership, the simulation challenged participants to navigate ambiguity, make high-stakes decisions with incomplete information, communicate clearly under pressure, and collaborate across perspectives — all while receiving real-time feedback from alumni, faculty, and communication coaches.
