The inaugural class of Olympia’s Leaders, 49 young women from Androscoggin County, told the Institute they wanted to stay better connected with their peers, advisors and with the Institute. We listened. This year, thanks to MEMIC, we have launched Canvas, an online Learning Management System that not only allows the Institute to deliver program content and training, but also creates a private, online community where Olympia’s Leaders can discuss issues, encourage one another, challenge ideas, connect with their advisors and stay in touch with the Institute. As we welcome 105 sophomores from all 16 counties this technology and connectivity will have a positive impact on how the participants engage with one another and the program.
