About this listen
In this special episode, we turn the mic over to the voices from the Transformational Leadership & Service Conference (TLSC), which happened at Marian University on January 19, 2026. This is an annual tradition at Marian University in honor of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Student host Blessing Malunga connects with conference attendees, workshop speakers, university staff, and administrators to capture their biggest takeaways—from meaningful moments of service to personal definitions of transformational leadership. Through these reflections, we explore how leadership shows up in action, community, and everyday choices, and how TLSC continues to shape the way Marian leads and serves.
