    Annual Retreats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Annual retreats are generally arranged during the fall semester and will provide an opportunity for NRT faculty, trainees, and partners to meet. Trainees may provide input on the agenda (special topics or opportunities) for each retreat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Self-assessments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    All new trainees will be invited to complete an entrance questionnaire to help us understand our trainees\u2019 background, previous experiences, and current expectations for the program. All trainees will complete a mid-program and post-program questionnaire to identify the skills developed and which NRT components have supported and enhanced their graduate experience and progress toward career goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
