Presentation

Students will learn the necessary skills to dress for success, understanding the importance of the world’s perception of them, and how to properly carry themselves in any setting.
Respect for Women

Students will dissect their personal views towards women and relationships, and taught how to leverage their position too, not only empower, but value the women in their lives.
Integrity

Students will learn to identify their core value, reflect on their actions, and understand the importance of ensuring that the two align in every space that they enter.
