IMPACT Leadership Program Workshops
In 2023-24, IMPACT participants will complete the following workshops and retreats. Students have the option to attend workshops on either Wednesday afternoons from 2 pm-4 pm, or Thursday mornings from 10 am-noon.
Participants will also be placed into 'small groups' with an IMPACT alumni as a mentor. These small groups will meet four times during the fall term, on the weeks between the IMPACT workshops, at a time agreed upon by participants.
