RLI Graduate Programs

After completing the three-part basic undergrad program, "Graduates" are eligible to attend in-depth seminars held at selected locations in conjunction with regular courses or as a stand-alone course.

Only Rotarians who have completed RLI Parts I, II and III may register for the Graduate Program.

The curriculum for each graduate seminar is developed in consultation with the RLI leadership team and the RLI program graduates. The Graduate course allows more in-depth exploration of topics of interest to the candidates and topics that explore current challenges Rotary clubs are facing. Each Graduate course will have a different list of topics and a unique curriculum that meets the needs of the Rotarians attending the course.
