Doerr Institute develops leaders at Rice
The Doerr Institute for New Leaders, launched in 2015, seeks to offer undergraduate students from every major the opportunity to be guided by a certified leadership coach. After a successful pilot year in 2015–16, the program will now expand free of charge to serve all sophomores who request the opportunity. Get a glimpse of a day in the life of a student leader in the Doerr Institute through this video.
The Ann and John Doerr Institute for New Leaders (DINL) was founded with the strategic aim of transforming how students are developed as leaders in all top tier colleges and universities. In accepting the Doerrs' $50M donation, Rice committed to the proposition that all of its 6,200 graduate and undergraduate students should be offered a compelling, professionally-executed leader development experience of a scope and scale unprecedented among major universities. We see our work not as extra-curricular, but co-curricular -- we pay attention to academic program objectives and integrate university-wide to help faculty as they develop students, and help students develop themselves. DINL is accomplishing these aims through three broad leader development initiatives - Strategic Integration, Leveraging Rice Culture, and Direct Development. As you read through the initiatives, imagine how our world might be different if every college and university took this approach.
