GRADVision Fundamentals is a professional development program running in Fall 2023, hosted online in partnership with the Graduate Leadership Institute (GLI) and the Office of Social Innovation (OSI). 

GRADVision Fundamentals is a series of three virtual workshops providing an opportunity for graduate students across the university to work on the development of their vision as leaders working towards social transformation. Particpants will consider solutions of transformative change for social issues by first reflecting on and refining their own vision of leadership and social change.

Participants will receive values and vision training from GLI, which will support deeper understanding of their core values and leadership purpose that will be foundational in helping students develop their vision for positive societal change. At the end of the workshop series, participants will produce an online presentation of their learning which will be showcased through OSI.

Registration is open for Fall 2023,  (google form) register (external link)  by October 16, 2023!
