The Division of Graduate Studies offers graduate students a Leadership Certificate Program, consisting of a sequence of classes on leadership theory and practical skills. The program takes place every Friday of the winter quarter, 1:00–4:30 p.m. Pacific Time, starting January 10 and concluding March 14.
To join the program, your faculty adviser or principal investigator must recommend you with an email to Vice Provost and Dean of Graduate Studies Peter Biehl at vpdgs@ucsc.edu and state in the email that you are in good academic standing and able to commit to attending every meeting.
The Division of Graduate Studies will provide certification of completion of the program. The UCSC Academic Senate Graduate Council has reviewed and approved the program, and completion of the program is recorded as an official credential on your student record and transcript.
The program meets in person in Kerr Hall, chancellor's wing, conference room 212. Zoom virtual attendance is only available to those in the following circumstances: attending classes remotely, conducting research remotely, or needing to attend virtually for accessibility or to accommodate their schedules.
The maximum number of graduate students in the program cohort is 25.
