One way of offering such learning is through academic programs. This qualitative study explored whether capacity for resilience was learned from a leadership studies program. Institutional and undergraduate certificate in leadership studies alumni (n=23) were interviewed to understand if and how they articulated learned capacity for resilience in personal and professional environments as a result of completing the program. Students highlighted that the Leadership Certificate provided them with skills to overcome personal challenges and the positive role of personal reflection in their successes.
