COVID Note: To date, the summer 2022 program is scheduled to be held in person – While we are hopeful that we will be able to offer an in-person experience for Summer 2022, we must follow regulations set by the university and local, state, and federal governments. We reserve the right to move from in-person participation to holding the program virtually based on the conditions and guidance from the university and local, state, and federal governments.
