Awards Lunch 2017 SUMMER INSTITUTE
President Broderick Leadership Symposium
The Broderick Leadership Symposium was a highlight of the institute for me. It was very apparent that the feedback given last summer was taken to heart and incorporated into this year's events. It felt much less like a CCL event with HIED lumped on and instead felt like a cohesive group experience. The cohort meeting was an excellent introduction and should definitely be a part of every summer institute going forward. That opportunity to just know who's in our program and at what stage is invaluable. ~Anonymous

Dr. Williams with Poindexter Award Recipient Staci Forgey
“The dinners, luncheons and cookouts were lovely and greatly appreciated. Coffee with Dr. Glass was very informative. The library session was good but I wish I had a handout to follow along as she was talking, I feel I missed quite a bit. Lunch with adviser was very helpful. Sarah did an amazing job at coordinating everything so smoothly.� ~Anonymous

2017 DuBois Leadership Series Award Luncheon Schedule
“Loved the Day one events, social events, cookouts, and the Library Session - very informative and really wonderful welcome that made everyone feel at ease and built a strong cohort feeling. Visiting Drs. Gregory and Pribesh were definitely highlights were you really got to get to know them. Dr. Glass and Sarah did a wonderful job of keeping us organized and helping us get settled and oriented. Overall a really great job of scheduling and the social outlets and breaks were greatly appreciated.� ~Anonymous
