  1. Introduction I am an old business student. I learned that no communication takes place without overheads. My name is Michael McCrae. I run the Professional Development Initiative. You should all have the white brochure. We have two goals: 1. To help you learn well at graduate school and 2. To help you plan for the day when your program ends. Examples are Choosing a Grad Advisor, Business Writing and Project Management. PDI does not run any credit programs. Participation is purely voluntary. PDI is a program for graduate students only
