Ted Bauer Leadership Certificate Program

Schedules & Dates

As part of TBLCP, you will be split into a “cohort” based on your availability and preferences provided at the time you apply. You will attend your workshops every week at the same day and time - your assigned “cohort” workshop day. All cohorts do the same content each week, but by keeping the same students in each cohort we are able to build community and enable students to make connections with their peers.
