Week 5, Day 4

Happy Thursday and welcome to the fifth week of the program, we’re officially halfway through the program! This week you’ll be continuing your respective projects, finishing the research, beginning outlining and drafting of the project and hopefully wrap up any interviews you scheduled! We’re super excited to hear about the progress you guys are making and are always here as a resource!

This week we’ll be giving you guys more time with projects and is going to be heavier with content and meetings. Thank you all for your feedback with the forms and check-in meetings! We’ll make sure to consider all the recommendations and create a stronger program moving forward! We’re going to continue the week with guest speaker Dr. Stephen Casper on Thursday 7/14 at 11am PST, 1 pm CST, 2 pm EST and finalizing the week with a Watch Party on Concussion (2015)!

Your PM’s will also reach out with each partner project individually to set-up meetings times to check-in and review progress or if there’s any questions!
