Orientation for The Journal

What is orientation?

Orientation is an introductory session where students will learn how to navigate the program, including submitting homework and scheduling meetings with their coach. We’ll also introduce the foundational rules for writing a journal article and walk through an example to ensure a clear understanding. 

When are the orientations (for both summer and winter)?

For summer orientations, the date/time will be released 3 weeks in advance.

For winter orientations, the date/time will be released 2 weeks in advance.

For The Summer Journal, do I need to attend all four orientation sessions, and how long are they?

Yes, each session covers a different topic, so attending all four is recommended. However, if you’re unable to attend live, each session will be recorded, and a link will be sent via email once the recording is available. The total orientation duration is 6 hours.

I’m attending the full 8-week summer bootcamp. Is the July orientation the same as the one in June?

Yes, both orientations cover the same content, so you only need to attend once.

What if I entered the wrong email address in the onboarding survey?

If you need to update your email, please submit a ticket with the correct address at this link, and we’ll assist with the update.
