Seven professional development and leadership sessions are held throughout the year. Every session features a brief talk from a Session Anchor who will tell their professional story. Primary Mentors then facilitate a discussion among the group. Each session will end with a Challenge to apply that week's practical tool.

Sea Talks
 

Connect with other mentorship groups at other participating institutions.
