Abstract
This document provides an executive summary of the 2014 Scholars Convening - Partners Meetings, held on May 29-June 1, 2014, at the University of British Columbia. The summary includes an update on the overall status of the Scholars Program, detailing current enrollment (3,759 Scholars) and the first graduations (18 Scholars). Key content featured presentations from the three working groups concerning Women’s Transformative Leadership, clarifying the "economic disadvantage" criterion for recruitment, and defining the Go-Back/Give-Back concepts. The report also outlines a session dedicated to sharing promising implementation practices and discussing practical and conceptual challenges, notably the need for consistent messaging regarding the ‘go-back’ expectation. The sessions ultimately helped foster a common understanding of program progress and emerging challenges.
