Student Experience

A Vibrant Learning Community

Presidio Graduate School students engage in a vibrant and unique learning community that is consistently cited as one of the most important benefits of attending our programs. We create opportunities for our students and graduates to not only enhance their educational experience, but also form meaningful and lasting relationships.

The Presidio culture is one of collaboration and support, where students are open to new ideas and different perspectives. “Presidians” quickly become more than classmates, more than a professional network. Students develop professional and personal ties that are strengthened through their common experience of attending a unique, mission-guided program that connects their work with their values. Our students forge a lifelong, close-knit community of business and government partners, colleagues and friends. This community, this network, is a critical part of how we effect change in the world.

Student activities start early with new student orientation—including a student-run mentor program—and continue with ongoing community activities that extend beyond graduation to alumni and professional events. Presidio makes it easy for students to engage in a deeper way through student government and clubs, special events, continuing education workshops, networking opportunities, mentorship programs and business plan competitions.
