Seminars: Throughout the four-week summer sessions, several interactive leadership and team-building events are planned to supplement the classroom experience.

 
Workshops: EGOM participants engage in a group experiential challenge, facilitated by Dan Davis, Adventure-Based Leadership Counselor. The goal of this exercise is to develop effective decision-making, self-esteem, communication and leadership skills.
