LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE

Topic Focus: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

This year, applicant's project proposals should focus on addressing diversity, equity and inclusion issues in the mathematics and statistical sciences.

Two-Day Workshop

​The first event for each Leadership cohort is a two-day summer leadership training workshop to be held in late June. There, Leadership Fellows will meet and learn from experienced leaders through panels, presentations, and small group discussions on topics that will expand their vision of what leadership means, teach them essential leadership skills, and increase their motivation to make a difference as a leader.
