Prepare to Launch Professional Development
As many of us support our graduating seniors as they prepare for life after graduation, there has been growing discussion around "launch" programs. For our next professional development workshop, we are looking forward to hearing about one such program being developed at Dartmouth College under the leadership of Jay Davis.

Join us as we learn about Dartmouth College's Prepare to Launch initiative, which is a program supporting FGLI seniors as they take their first steps into the post-college world. Jay Davis will share with us how this program came to be, what resources and activities it entails, and what shape this initiative might take in the future. There will be time for Q&A and discussion.
