The Adult Learners Professional and Leadership Development Program (PLDP) is tailored to the nuanced experiences of students age 25 and above. PLPD provides a space for adult learners to build an intentional community and engaged in programming tailored to your needs.

Programming centered around the direct needs of the adult learners, will include:
