Boreas Leadership Program

Boreas offers University of Minnesota graduate and professional students and post-doctoral fellows free co-curricular leadership development opportunities that build on the strengths of graduate education to create effective change agents.

Programming is both idealistic and pragmatic. Boreas offers a series of skills workshops in communications and media relations, integrative leadership, public skills and systems thinking and tools, and in addition offers workshops in Personal & Interpersonal Mastery, and Vision & impact.  Boreas also organizes a series of professional networking events and offers leadership practice opportunities.

Boreas participants learn new skills, meet like-minded people from across campus and jump into changing the world. The program is flexible, so participants can take part in workshops, events and group activities when it makes sense for them. Most stay involved over several semesters.
