Co-Curricular

Ethics Retreat

GHD hosts an off-campus Ethics Retreat weekend during the first month of the program designed to introduce a thematic dialogue on the topic of ethical dilemmas in the field, a topic revisited in reflection dinners and speaker events throughout the two-year program.

Mentorship

GHD pairs each incoming first-year student with a second-year student mentor that can answer informal questions related to life in the program. These mentor-mentee pairings often stay connected throughout their entire time at GHD.
