Harvard School Executive 2021 PROGRAM GUIDE i For the most up to date information, visit hks.harvard.edu/executive-education Thoughts on This Year and Beyond

When we look back on this moment in history, we will see a time that was filled with new challenges and crises, hard lessons, and innovative accomplishments. While there is still much uncertainty about what lies ahead, the Executive Education remains united by our continuing commitment to public service and determination to overcome obstacles for the sake of the many people we are called to serve — in our cities and towns, our countries, and our world. Now more than ever, responsible and adaptive leadership is critical as we face an unprecedented public health crisis.

Moving forward through the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to adapt Executive Education programs as needed. Our top priority is the health, safety, and well-being of our community — whether that means creating program alternatives online, postponing some programs, or returning to campus. Together with HKS faculty, our team is committed to creating executive programs that are reflective of the academic excellence and rigor you expect from Harvard.

For the latest details on program offerings, session dates, and more, please visit our website. Additional information from Executive Education about COVID-19 as well as other Harvard Kennedy School news is also available here.

Sincerely,

Debra Iles Senior Associate Dean Executive Education at Harvard Kennedy School
