Students will develop self-awareness, leadership, and communication skills, and will learn to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and foster professional networks with peers, men- tors, and community leaders. Any student is welcome to apply. There will be an application and subsequent interview. Up to 10 students will be accepted into the program.
