Pizza with Profs 

Leadership Safari welcomes new freshmen and transfer students to Central Michigan University. The three-day conference provides the essential skills they need to feel connected and engaged on campus and has become one of CMU’s most beloved traditions.

During dinner on Wednesday, Leadership Safari teams are joined by faculty and staff from across campus at “Pizza with Profs.” These professionals help welcome our new students, share expertise, answer questions about college life and learning, and offer encouragement. Each year, students note that meeting with a professional allows them to feel more connected to CMU.
