provided for the duration of the program. Participants are
encouraged to attend every meal and scheduled function
to help cultivate relationships and camaraderie among
the faculty and other participants.
In order to be fully engaged in the class content and
discussion from day one, participants must complete
advance reading assignments. A list of assignments is
provided to each participant prior to the program. During
the program, attendance at all scheduled class sessions
