• Develop teamwork skills with each other and get to know one another, opening pathways for future collaboration and growing professionally.

• Become better prepared to serve as community engaged leaders of their programs/clubs.

Each session will include participant discussion, a brief presentation by a guest presenter or a video, team builder time, and a debrief related to that week's topic. All sessions will be facilitated by staff, faculty, or student facilitators.
