Calling All Leadership Series and Partners-RI Graduates!

You're invited to join the Leadership Graduate Academy! The Academy is a collection of short courses that focus one some of the topics we introduced in the Leadership Series. We've also added related topics that are based conversations we've had in class over the years.

We're currently offering 3 different courses per year, 3 in the fall and 3 in the spring, and will be adding new topics each semester. Once you've joined the Academy, you're welcome to but space is limited.

As an Academy member, you'll have the opportunity to enroll in as many different courses as you want, and earn a Certificate of Completion for each of them, but class size is limited.
