Academic Partners
We appreciate those universities, institutions, associations, and organizations that support our programs.
Our Academic Partners support us by promoting our program to their students, assisting with administrative processes, and by offering advice for improvements, and recommendations for future topics. Our advisory board assists with our decision making processes, future strategies, and sourcing guest speakers.
