Sixteen months of learning, growth and connection began with 10 immersive days in Kingston.

Earlier this month, the Smith Executive MBA - The National Program Class of 2028 began their program with an opening session at Smith School of business designed to build the foundation for their journey ahead.

Over 10+ days, students dove into executive leadership, strategy, negotiations, general management and resiliency, and high-performing teams, all while beginning to build the relationships and deep connections that are such an important part of the EMBA experience.

Beyond academics, the session brought the cohort together through team challenges, wellness activities, waterfront experiences, a 1000 Islands dinner cruise and more.

It was an intensive and energizing introduction to what the Smith EMBA is all about: learning together, challenging yourself, building meaningful connections and developing as a leader.
