UChicago Leadership & Society Initiative (LSI)

The University of Chicago developed the Leadership and Society Initiative (LSI) to support accomplished executives in successfully transitioning from their longstanding careers toward purposeful next chapters. A yearlong immersion in UChicago’s unparalleled ecosystem of big ideas and multigenerational dialogue equips Fellows with frameworks for learning from their past and planning for their futures. LSI is a gateway to the University’s vast intellectual assets and global networks, providing transformative experiences to enable a fulfilling and ambitious next chapter. Through LSI’s rigorous and customizable curriculum, Fellows engage with eminent faculty and expert practitioners to explore how their next chapter can be meaningful for them and for society. Every Fellow develops a Purpose Plan in consultation with distinguished mentors and coaches to chart a path of personal growth, advanced leadership, enduring wellness, and dynamic engagement with pressing societal issues.
