Now in its 14th year, both the premedical and preveterinary Summer Leadership Academy offer courses that combine didactic lectures, small-group problem solving sessions, practical lab work in state-of-the art facilities, and hands-on training through simulated and real-life situations. Join us for an Informational meeting: Thursday October 29 at 7:00pm in C176. For more information, email: Amanda.Ryan@cobbk12.org.
