ALT Focus Forward Fellowship, like many other programs was forced to pivot to online delivery for two years during COVID-19. The Fellowship, a nationally competitive professional development and mentoring program for women student veterans, has now applied lessons learned during that time to expand to offer both in-person and online format. This session will delve into why both platforms ar, and why continued support for this population is vital to their academic & professional success.
