As Associate Professor Sue Carozza explains, “The goal is to create a community of students online so they’re not just learning the material in isolation but developing connections that will benefit them professionally. We’re very intentional in creating a cohort model that gives them opportunities for networking and developing their skills in a peer-to-peer way.”
