Robertson Scholars are a diverse and dynamic group of vibrant leaders committed to making transformational contributions to society. Scholars explore their leadership at the self, group, and system level forging connections across cohorts.

Robertson Scholars join a lifelong community committed to transformational change.  They explore who they are, what they're committed to, and how to lead from their values in the face of an ever-changing world.
