Dear KLI Community
Season’s greetings! I’m pleased to share highlights from the Fall 2025 semester. We began the academic year with strong student interest in leadership and KLI opportunities. This fall, we received over 100 applications—primarily from first- and second-year students—and welcomed 16 new hires to our Research and Institute teams. While we regret turning away many talented applicants, our student team remains steady at 42 members. The Women in Leadership Development (WLD) initiative, now in its fifth year under Assistant Director Marilyn Pierce, continues to thrive with record participation. Likewise, the Student Engagement and Mentoring Initiative (SEMI) remains robust, offering students valuable interactions with Advisory Board members and Kravis Fellows through Master Classes, office hours, and small-group discussions. As part of CMC’s research centers, KLI advances leadership scholarship and practice. Over half of our student assistants contribute to seven research teams exploring topics such as networked leadership, women and leadership, and responsible leadership. Please save the date for our next Advisory Board meeting on Saturday, April 25, 2026 , during CMC Leadership Weekend. This event will include the Kravis-de Roulet Leadership Conference, celebrating President Hiram Chodosh’s 12-year leadership legacy.
Thank you for your continued support of KLI.
