Orientation

Dear soon-to-be M1s,

Welcome to Mailing 3, our final mailing! We hope your arrival to Hyde Park goes smoothly (or went smoothly, for those of you already here), and we’re so excited to meet you all in person in just a few short weeks.

As you all know, we are hosting informal summer office hours, with our final session on 7/26 at 7pm CT. Please join us on Zoom. Thank you to those who have already dropped by (we loved meeting y’all), and we can’t wait to meet more of your wonderful class.

Mailing 3 introduces you to the Human Body course, the beloved Pritzker “Growth Mindset,” and Wellness resources available before your arrival (including information on how to book appointments early). There are also three action items that are critical for you to complete before the start of Orientation.
