Reviews from past participants

“I think the best thing about the course is that Dr. Beachum’s expertise not only comes from an academic background, but she also brings wisdom from experience and practicality.”  -Fall 2021 participant

“I loved the breakout sessions and the opportunity to get to know some of the other students in my class. Virtual classes tend to take away the face-to-face experience, but this was a great way to bring it back and make online classes hands-on.”  -Fall 2021 participant
