Once you enroll, our Office of Academic Programs and Student Experience will share more information about our onboarding process.  Below is a snapshot of some of the key onboarding events. For questions about the Executive Forum, please contact us.

 

Executive Forum 

Forums are residency programs that build the foundation for personal leadership and principles of strategy formulation. The core curriculum focuses on providing you with the analytical skills necessary for robust critical decision-making and the depth of functional knowledge necessary to lead across the organization. As such, this REQUIRED week of in person learning sets the tone for the duration of the program, as well as establishes the relationships you will have throughout your two years.

Executive Forum #1: August 2-8, 2026*
