Certificate Holders & Candidates

This page is updated each January, June, and October with the most current list of students who have been awarded certificates or are currently candidates for a certificate. Members who participated in a career program or graduated before Fall 2026 may have included different terminology on their resume than what is listed below, as program requirements have morphed over the years and members that completed former iterations of the program have been post-awarded based off of their equivalents. Employers may contact kyra@egdcollective.org for verification checks.

Fellows have completed EGD's highest award, a multi-year program focused on leadership and professional practice. Fellows demonstrate exceptional commitment to career readiness, creative collaboration, and community impact. 

​

Our program has recently evolved! Anyone earning a Tyro, Practitioner, or Fellow designation in 2026–2027 or later is part of the updated EGD Leadership Program. Awardees from 2026 and earlier are listed under our Legacy program. Please see the Legacy tabs for more information.
