WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT FOR THIS FELLOWSHIP?
Fellows will meet in-person and online throughout the year. Attendance and participation in related activities for both in-person and online meetings are required for successful completion of the program.
There are 4 in-person meetings, called convenings, throughout the year that represent a total anticipated time commitment of 5 weeks. Convenings are full time, out of office commitments.
Online meetings take place every 2 weeks for 90 minutes. There is an additional time commitment of 12-16 hours per month for the online curriculum, but this is self-directed learning, i.e. completed at your own pace. Self-directed learning activities include completion of program readings, videos and assignments. Assignments may be related to your individual project, reflection, and/or program evaluation.
