Managers Cohort

Managers Cohort Applications

Applications for the 2026-2027 Managers Cohort will be open from Monday, March 30th through Friday, May 1st.

The Managers Cohort program provides a unique opportunity for managers at the university to enhance their leadership skills in a supportive group setting with peers and expert facilitation.

“It is easy to get bogged down in the day-to-day tasks, and the Managers Cohort provides an opportunity to reset, remind yourself of what’s important, and re-engage in your leadership journey.”
