Tutorial 1: Aims and Objectives of the Institute and Getting to Know Each Other
Before arriving for the Institute, delegates will be divided into tutorial groups, each led by a faculty member. These small group meetings are sprinkled throughout the Institute and will serve as touch points to ensure you’re getting what you need out of each of the sessions and the Institute as a whole. These tutorial groups are also an excellent opportunity to share challenges you're currently facing in Alumni Relations/Marcomms and learn from group members how you can address these.
