Catalyst

What is Catalyst™?

Catalyst is a great entry into the LeaderShape® community. It is a one-day program focused on developing your own authentic path, connecting to groups and causes you care about, and committing to a plan to be a catalyst for yourself and the groups you’re part of. Catalyst at Michigan Tech is held once per semester within the first month of classes, typically on a Saturday.

Throughout the program you’ll consider powerful questions that move you towards action:
Am I on the right path? Who do I want to be? How can I connect with other like-minded individuals? In small-group dialogue, large group interaction, and personal reflection, you’ll learn alongside others who also want to start something extraordinary.

Attend Catalyst™ 

The Spring 2025 session of Catalyst will be held on Saturday, February 1st from 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM in the MUB Alumni Lounge. All participants will receive free workshop materials, lunch, and a gift. Please RSVP by the end of day on Sunday, January 26th so we can ensure we have adequate food and supplies for all participants.
