The Mission
of @ Lot 623 is to inspire our students and
guests to own their full range of power.
They will be able to explore their internal and
external power through three themes: Own
Your Life, Own Your Light, and Own Your
Style.
Through interactive activities and
experiences that encourage togetherness,
students and guests will explore, reflect on,
and reinforce their relationships with
themselves and with each other.
