The five-session program, which ends Nov. 1, is designed to provide these students with interactive opportunities to hone their leadership skills.
Session I kicked off with a meet-and-greet networking opportunity, a leadership discussion with Senator Young, and concluded with a team-building activity. The remaining sessions will provide these students with challenging lessons facilitated by JBC staff, faculty and a professional trainer.
