In addition, participants are given an opportunity to build mentoring relationships with their assigned peer mentor groups through programming and extracurricular sessions.

Each participant spends time solving actual business challenges by working with peers, assessing options, weighing alternatives and agreeing upon solutions. By honing their collaborative and leadership skills, they leave the program with greater self-awareness, increased proficiency and a stronger sense of accountability.
