CMC made it to The Summit ... and we had quite an adventure!

On April 25, 2026, the CMC community came together for connection, conversation, and an exploration about how we can deploy our collective leadership to bring about positive change on the issues of our time.

From the C-Suite to the classroom, from newsrooms to democratic institutions, and from sports orgs to science labs, CMC’s alumni, faculty, staff, supporters, and students are tackling some of society’s toughest challenges—and we’re making CMC history along the way!

Thank you for your engagement, energy, ideas—and yes, leadership—that made the first-ever Summit such a wonderful success. We hope you’ll enjoy reliving some of the highlights through our event recaps, photos, videos, and podcasts—and please share your favorites throughout your networks!
