The Sarah R. Opperman Leadership Institute exists to ensure every student knows they can lead.
The Leadership Institute is the premier center for student leadership development in the Midwest. Since 1997, we have empowered individuals to contribute to a more socially responsible world with integrity and conviction.
Your gift will allow us to continue offering innovative, intentional, and inclusive leadership opportunities for all CMU students.
We are grateful to alumni and friends who have participated in the CMU Giving Week Quest in support of our students. There’s still time to give a gift for CMU’s 133rd Anniversary! If you haven’t yet, consider making a gift to your favorite CMU scholarship or fund and help ignite the path for student success.
We’ve reached an incredible 1,000 gifts. Thank you so much, alumni and friends! We’re one more donor goal away from unlocking $1,333 for the Ignite Scholarship that helps first-generation students. A gift to any fund helps!
