Leadership is important because it inspires, motivates, and sets an example for people to accomplish positive changes in the world (Reference). In order to help expand our graduate students leadership skillset the Office of Graduate Studies is facilitating a number of intimate workshops with leaders from across the institution and our community on various topics chosen by the students. Bring on the positive change.
Graduate student leaders are invited to join this circle. If you are interested in joining, please contact the Office of Graduate Studies.
