CALS Learning from Leaders

1.0 credits · Undergraduate

In CALS Learning from Leaders, a single distinguished practitioner serves as both instructor and primary case study. Over 10 weeks, students examine a real organization — its decisions, tradeoffs, and outcomes — directly with the person who led it, drawing on frameworks from across CALS disciplines to make sense of what they find. This is a credit-bearing course grounded in case-based pedagogy, not a speaker series or networking event. The practitioner-instructor's experience, alongside curated readings and materials, is the curriculum. This is not a speaker series or a networking event. It is a credit-bearing course grounded in case-based pedagogy, in which the practitioner-instructor's experience, alongside curated readings and materials, forms the core of the curriculum.
