Q: Is it possible to attend only for some part of the in-person week due to other internships/placements etc.?
A: No. In general, the success of the program relies on everyone committing to the goals of the school and working together as a team which requires an in-person presence. In some cases, where participants have had other summer commitments, we have found that those placements may be flexible to allow you the 1-week away – often the benefits of this school being complimentary to the efforts of the other placement.
Q: What time are the remote lectures held?
A: The lectures are generally 1 hour each and have been held Tuesday afternoons (~2pm EST) for the past few years. This time compliments the setup of the school’s scheduling in general and we like to keep close to it. However, each year we make adjustments to accommodate holidays and availability, so final times would be confirmed in May.
