The series intended to answer the question, “How do I get the best possibleresults for my life goals from this graduate program?”With faculty and industry engagement, we identified specific learning outcomes for theleadership series, critical features for the process and expected outcomes for each of the courses.We used a set of critical design assumptions as our guide for development.
