What is The Goff Strategic Leadership Center?

Here in the Goff Strategic Leadership Center, we’re driving change in education and workforce readiness. With 51% of Gen-Z employees feeling unprepared for the professional world, we equip individuals and organizations to tackle real-world challenges and embrace ambiguity. One way we do this is through our undergraduate programs, in which our students work with partner organizations to provide insights into pressing strategic challenges our partners face.

Explorers Program Overview

The Explorers program matches companies with high-achieving students seeking their first internship. All interns meet in a weekly class to learn about initiative, communication, problem-finding, and other topics that help interns navigate their workplaces more effectively and maximize the value they create for their sites.
