Participants will attend daily faculty talks and industry demonstrations featuring experts in the field. These sessions are designed to expand your perspective and connect you with real-world applications of your learning.

Office Hours

Office hours are optional support sessions held daily from 1:30–2:00pm PT. Participants are welcome to drop in to ask questions, get feedback on work, or talk through ideas related to their research project. This is dedicated time to receive additional guidance from your Graduate Mentors and deepen your understanding at your own pace.

Campwide Check-In & Reflection

Each morning from 9:00–9:30am PT, we’ll gather as a full community for Campwide Check-In. This is a space to connect, reflect on the previous day’s faculty talk or demonstration, and prepare for the day ahead.
