Attend this session to learn:
-The business case for expanding CSC programs will be discussed.
-Strategies for overcoming the challenges in expanding these programs will be presented.
-The necessary steps to expand CSC programs will be outlined.
-The impact of CSC programs as told through the young adult voice will be shared."
