Congratulations to the 2022 CMULead Graduates
CMULead has again risen to the occasion and graduated its largest class in the history of the program. On Monday, November 14, the 2022 CMULead cohort completed their final program requirements and the thirty participants of the program officially graduated. Provost Jim Garrett presided over the graduation ceremony as the virtual keynote speaker and recognized the participants for their efforts in completing this program devoted to developing future leaders at CMU. Participants of CMULead also had the opportunity to reflect on their lessons learned at the graduation ceremony.
About the Program
Over the course of the six-month program, participants devoted 70–80 hours to events and training, pre-work, final project presentations and the graduation ceremony. Individual sessions were supported by presentations from deans, vice presidents, and functional leaders and subject matter experts across faculty, staff and student services. Session topics included:
- Working in a top-tier research university
- Strategy, vision and impact
- Inclusive leadership
- Building leadership competency for the future
CMULead participants were also divided into teams and tasked with developing a presentation for one of the monthly sessions and leading the related discussions. Monthly session topics included reflections from the orientation, crisis and change management, leadership, and DEI and employee wellness.
