Elective Program Elements

In addition to the core program, we offer several elective events.  These are not required to successfully complete the program, but they have proven valuable to past participants.  We also offer special sessions that are open to both the current Fellows and alumni.  There will also be assorted networking opportunities outside of the core program.
