Want to make a greater leadership impact on the groups and organizations you are a part of? Do you currently hold a leadership position in a student organization, hope to do so in the future, or simply want to reflect on your own leadership skills? Register for the 46th Annual Maryland Leadership Conference (MLC).

MLC takes place on Saturday, April 9th, 2022 in the Adele Stamp Student Union! This is the longest-running student leadership conference in the country. During this day-long retreat, you’ll engage in team activities, small group dialogues, and real-life applications. You'll leave with both leadership skills and connections with other UMD leaders. The conference is open to any current UMD student (graduate or undergraduate) interested in getting more engaged in leadership. Meals and snacks will be provided throughout the day.
