Seminars & Workshops

It is no secret that success and failure are both about the choices we make, the company we keep, and the time and energy we put into anything. “Time to Choose” is a life changing student workshop that assist individuals in facing the harsh realities of identifying one’s purpose, decision making, networking, utilizing academic supports and ultimately the power of positive choices. Upon the completion of this workshop, students will be provided a true reality checklist and tools that will assist them in taking their professional development to the next level.
