Attendance Agreement
  1. The BOLD program runs 4 weeks: 2 in-person and 2 virtual sessions. All sessions are on Thursdays from 11 am - 1 pm EST (in-person sessions until 2:00 pm).
  2. Prior to each class, there is about 15 minutes of asynchronous material posted online that you need to read or watch as preparation for the live or virtual class. We consider this material a critical part of the BOLD experience. If you are absent from the class, we still expect you to complete this material.
  3. We understand that conflicts happen as you balance BOLD participation with work/life issues. Please notify Program Director Jay Shatz of a planned absence.
  4. Any student awarded and accepting a scholarship does so with the expectation from BOLD of recruiting a non-scholarship student for a future session.
