Update: May 1, 2020
As a result of the global coronavirus pandemic, organizations have been reevaluating business practices to meet the requirements of social distancing and to protect public health. Executive Development Programs is no different. We have a strong history of unparalleled learning experiences in our facilities across the state, but have made adjustments to keep our faculty, staff and participants safe. We have a world class suite of online learning programs, available now, and are continuing to modify future delivery methods to keep learning available to you.
Each individual and each organization is different and we recognize that now may not seem like the optimal time to invest, but we believe that education remains key to our future and invite you to review our offerings to see how they may contribute to your own recovery as we establish a new normal. If you would like to discuss any of our programs, consider reaching out to us (edp@broad.msu.edu). Please continue to stay safe and healthy.
