Are you a senior business student feeling both excited and nervous about life after graduation?

  • Maybe you are still working on identifying your potential career path
  • Maybe you’re weighing out grad school vs. working
  • You might be wondering about where you want to live and how you might build community
  • Or you might be wondering about how you’re going to create balance when you’re now working full time

If these, or any other post graduation questions feel top of mind for you, consider applying to the Senior Leadership Academy

In this 15 week program, you will learn to use design thinking principles and mindsets to strengthen your leadership skills for navigating an increasingly ambiguous world and build your way forward to a future where you can thrive.
