This highly interactive program will be presented to a limited cohort of students and will be done through regular virtual meetings, email, access to valuable resources and a four-day interactive video conference allowing you to see the speakers and other attendees (if they wish) and to interact much as you would in a live conference.

All four days of the conference will be recorded and will be available for six months after the conference to review.
