Because you may start the HPAC process at any time during the year, you may or may not complete all steps of the process. That is OK!! It is a process and it takes time. Some groups may need more team building time than others or more research time than others. It is OK!! The goal is to learn, have fun, and make a difference. The process can continue into the next year.Celebrate what HAS been accomplished at Scholar’s Day in April.
