C-MORE develops leaders: in their words … “[The program} opened my mind to aspects of professional development that I didn’t realize were important.” “I became better at managing my time and multiple projects at the same time.” “[I became] aware of what makes a CV interesting.” “Now I have a more informed opinion about job possibilities.” “ [The program] helped me develop confidence to talk to people I don’t know.” “I have developed a lot of connections at other institutions, including international connections.”

C-MORE develops and connects leaders “[The PDTP] is a really good way to make people feel part of C-MORE and become integrated. It offers a broader identity and sense of belonging. I like [it] for developing my identity.”
