Patten University Exclusive:
New Year, New Free Stanford Online Course
Last quarter, we gave the opportunity for Patten graduate students, alumni, and community members to enroll in Stanford Online's course — Achieving Innovation Through Inspiration — with all course fees covered by Patten for qualifying participants.
This quarter, we are pleased to announce a new Stanford Online course offering for the Patten community — Stanford Online's course — Getting Buy-In for Your Ideas — with all course fees again covered by Patten for qualifying participants.
Getting Buy-In for Your Ideas is an online, self-paced course taught by Stanford faculty and instructors that provides valuable lessons for both professionals and emerging leaders. You’ll learn how to promote your ideas within an organization to empower innovation and drive change. You’ll learn actionable techniques you can immediately put to use to advocate for yourself and your organization.
As part of this opportunity, you’ll also be invited to participate in small, cohort-based live virtual webinars, designed exclusively for the Patten community.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a digital Stanford Record of Completion that you can share on your resume and on social media.
Enrollment will be on a first-come, first-served basis. To be considered for this special offer, you must complete Stanford Online’s interest form. Patten University will then select who is admitted into the course. Space is limited.
