Class of 2009 Session Overview
“Two key attributes of the seminar XXI program that are critical to program success are access to knowledgeable speakers in an environment that fosters discourse and a diverse group of Fellows who further stimulate the learning experience resulting in a community one can tap in the future. At the end of the day, you keep going back to that community.”
