Are Scholars required to attend program meetings and site visits?
Scholars are required to attend the program meetings held every other week and strongly encouraged to attend site visits. If a scholar can not make it to a site visit they need to contact the directors at least one week in advance with an acceptable excuse. Mentors are welcome at both program meetings and site visits as well. The program meetings take place every other week for one hour and allow scholars to compare notes, provide progress reports and get updated on program housekeeping issues. Meeting absences or lateness should be arranged with the directors ahead of time (at least 1 full day in advance of the seminar).
