Scholars will then be assigned in ratios of 1 presenter to 10-12 scholars. Presentations will least approximately 25 minutes (including time for feedback) and scholars will then rotate to their next assigned presenter.

To give scholars an opportunity to learn about their chosen careers. We want scholars to learn about all the different aspect of the careers that they have expressed an interest in. Specifically, we want them to learn what it takes to get to the goals that they have set for themselves and to begin thinking about plotting a course of success.
