Leadership Training To Blaze Your own Trail
Spanning across 14-weeks (1 semester per cohort), the cohort will meet once a week on UT Austin campus.
Texas Trailblazers: Gay Gaddis Leadership Program is a unique and transformative experience that develops, trains, and exposes undergraduate students to real-world challenges and rewards in choosing a life of leadership roles. Taught by proven leaders in all fields, students will learn first-hand the vast opportunities and difficulties they can expect to encounter as a leader. Gay Gaddis is the program visionary and facilitator, with guest roles by notable Texas Exes and other outstanding leaders.
The Texas Trailblazers: Gay Gaddis Leadership Program will vet and curate a group of exceptional undergraduate students with the potential to lead across a wide array of professions — not-for-profit, science, engineering, technology, business, liberal arts, fine arts, and more. This is not your typical leadership program — Texas Trailblazers: Gay Gaddis Leadership Program will prepare students for a lifetime of extraordinary leadership across all fields. Students will not just meet world class leaders, but will also develop genuine relationships; students will not just hear stories about the everyday work of being a high impact leader, but also will learn precisely how proven leaders make decisions and act in ways that shape the performance of their teams and companies. Critically, students in the program will develop a supportive network that they can lean on for a lifetime.

Texas Trailblazers is a program designed to nurture, train and inspire natural born leaders to reach the pinnacle of success by getting up-close and personal with accomplished leaders willing to share their trade secrets and insights.
