Register for Leadership Safari

On behalf of the Sarah R. Opperman Leadership Institute and the CMU community, we would like to welcome you to Central Michigan University! Leadership Safari is the flagship co-curricular program of the Sarah R. Opperman Leadership Institute and a beloved CMU tradition.

Leadership Safari 2025

Leadership Safari is a three-day conference designed for new students to learn about themselves, leadership and CMU. You will join a small team led by a Safari Guide. Together, teams will attend lectures, complete a challenge course, participate in evening entertainment, and talk about their college and life goals. Leadership Safari is the perfect way to make CMU feel like home!

Leadership Safari will take place August 19th through 21st. There is a $125 registration fee (the fee is waived for students with demonstrated financial need).

Registration for Leadership Safari and IMPACT 2025 will open on this page on May 1st.

If you have questions about your registration, please see your confirmation email, or contact the Leadership Institute at safari@cmich.edu.
