Each session will involve synchronous learning via Zoom. Participants should plan to be involved with the Academy in real time. Attendees will benefit the most if you dedicate these time blocks to the Academy and separate yourselves from your daily work during this time, so you can ask questions, engage with other participants, and immerse yourself in the learning.
The schedule is as follows:
All times each day:
2-4:30pm Eastern / 11am-1:30pm Pacific/Arizona / 8-10:30am Hawaii

*Some of the optional mentorship meetings will occur at another time—small group assignment and meeting time details will be emailed individually to each participant,
Small Group Mentor Meetings:
Most of the initial, optional small group mentor meetings will take place during the last hour of the AHEAD Start training. For a few groups whose mentor isn’t available then, an alternate initial meeting time will be arranged within your group. Please check your email for details.
During the first mentor cohort meeting, the group will choose a mutually agreeable date and time to meet on a regular basis for the rest of the academic year. This time can be used however the group finds most beneficial—for sharing information, asking questions, sounding board opportunities, or moral support.
