This experience is designed to provide unparalleled hands-on learning and networking opportunities. *Please note that this is still in the planning phase, and the final decision will be confirmed by the first quarter of 2025. We will ensure that this information is communicated promptly, and that sufficient time is provided for necessary preparations.
During these intensive phases of the program, it is critical that all participants are fully engaged and present to ensure maximum learning and success. As such, vacation will not be approved from March 1, 2025, to May 30, 2025, and then again from August 11, 2025, to October 17, 2025. *Dates are subject to change as planning is finalized.
