The Music Leaders for Social Justice Certificate is designed uniquely for the Warner Music/Blavatnik Center for Business Fellowship Program. The certificate seeks to empower undergraduate fellows to develop and expand their capacity as future music executives who unapologetically center social justice through the pillars of truth, service and excellence. Through a self-paced and hybrid professional development course model, fellows are exposed to specialized curriculum content that elevates student consciousness and solution-based thinking at the intersection of music and social justice. In addition, this certificate incorporates a health and wellness respite to remind emerging social justice leaders about the importance of self-care and rest throughout one’s plight for social justice.
