Our mandatory first class meeting begins promptly at 9:00 am Monday September 25 in Purce Hall Classroom 5 (Purce Hall is also called the Lecture Hall). Registered students who are not present at that time and have not contacted us in advance will be dropped to make room for wait-listed students who are present.

As it is our first class meeting of the year, we will have a somewhat non-standard day. We ask that all students be available all day (from 9 – 3; we will definitely make time for a lunch break).

(If you have a laptop that you would normally bring to school, please make sure to do so for this first class meeting day. A laptop is not required for this program, so please don’t panic if you don’t have one.)
