The Preparing Future Leaders (PFL) initiative is designed to help you develop the knowledge and skills to lead effectively with integrity, insight, and compassion. We offer more than 80 professional development seminars, workshops, and events each year to help you succeed both in graduate school and as a leader in your career.
PFL events are centered around three themes: Career Skills, Teaching and Mentoring, and the Responsible Conduct of Research. You may decide to focus on events in one particular theme, or you may decide to participate in a variety of events to help you become a more well-rounded professional. Registration for all in-person and time-limited online events is available at go.ncsu.edu/pflevents. (No registration is necessary for on-demand events.)
If you are interested in participating in a variety of events to develop a well-rounded professionalism, we encourage you to learn more about the PFL Season Pass.
The sections below will help you decide where to begin so you can find events that are tailored to your particular needs based on your roles, responsibilities and future goals. New events are added each semester. Contact us if you need more information.
