Nomination Procedures for Future Cohorts

Future cohorts will be nominated by their supervisors, with the exception of first-time deans, associate deans, and program heads, all of whom will be included by nature of their position. Individuals can also ask their deans to participate. Nominations of peers from individuals who complete Lead UTD are also considered.
