Working collaboratively to create a supportive environment for advancing goals toward their professional advancement, the fellows have engaged in a set of curated professional development experiences that offer a network of resources, mentorship access, leadership development, and coaching opportunities to support Clark faculty and staff of color. They will be able to reflect on the experience and offer insights about ways to further develop the program for future cohorts of fellows.
