All content was created by the Doerr Institute using evidence-based techniques and is supported with research-validated outcomes.

• Bachelor's Degree
• Minimum five years of experience with preference given to those who have worked in human resources, organizational behavior, organizational development, or a related field
• Leadership experience -- It is not a requirement that the applicant be in an official supervisory position. Rather, we recognize that participants will benefit from being able to reflect on past leadership experiences in a variety of professional or community-based situations (e.g. team leader for a project, role in a civic organization, opportunity for influence in a sports or religious organization, etc.)
• Application must be completed by the application deadline and include all information requested including an up-to-date resume or CV
• In order to maintain a focused learning environment, participants should work to minimize distractions during class and mentor coaching sessions. Modules and sessions begin on time, so participants should be in the assigned place and ready to learn when the modules/sessions begin. Participants must join live virtual modules, mentor coaching sessions, and any other live, virtual activities from a location with stable internet. Participants may not join live virtual sessions if they are in transit (driving, riding in a vehicle, walking), or in a public setting (airport, restaurant, etc.). Participants must join in a private space with no background noise or distractions. Cameras should be on for the duration of live, virtual sessions. Participants should be polite and respectful to everyone, including participants, instructors, administrators, support staff, and visitors. Rice reserves the right to ask participants who behave in a disrespectful way to leave the program.
