Congratulations to WashU’s recent group of MOR graduates 

A group of 37 IT professionals recently completed a 10-month professional and personal development program through the MOR Leaders Program.  

The objectives of this leadership program are: 

  • To enhance the professional and personal development of senior staff who will play increasingly important management and leadership roles. 
  • To explore opportunities for each individual to make sustainable improvements in their effectiveness. 
  • To gain a heightened perspective on strategic issues facing higher education institutions post pandemic. 
  • To evolve each individual’s capabilities to build a diverse workforce and create an inclusive work environment. 
  • To strengthen relationships and foster collaboration within and across departments in participating universities. 

The program is designed to encompass four tracks to include individual development; applied learning; a leadership community, and workshops.
