With the conclusion of the 2011-2012 academic year, over 350 students have now participated the Management and Leadership Development Program (MLDP) since the inception of the program three years ago.
Most recently during this academic year, 112 students
participated in the program with 76 students completing the program
requirements. Participants of the
program gain knowledge and practice skills in multiple aspects of management
and leadership, including workplace writing skills, presentation design,
problem solving and negotiation techniques, cultural competency, group
facilitation skills, strategic planning and more.

Participants of the program cite the diverse array of expert guest speakers who lead a different topic area each week throughout the term as a key strength of MLDP.
“MLDP grants participants the opportunity to learn from
well-versed speakers and achieved individuals in their career field” notes
Spring 2012 participant Clifford (CJ) Hughes ‘14. Furthermore, Clifford remarks that “MLDP is the only program
that I’m aware of at Dartmouth of its class and caliber. It combines seemingly disparate yet
valuable topics and skills into one complete package centered on vital aspects
of management and leadership”.
Anjalie Christie ’14 additionally states that “Each topic is
immediately applicable and relevant to our lives as college students. Because these fundamentals are put into
practice now they will be much more developed and prominent when needed in real
world experiences and jobs.”
