This learning program is structured as three distinct, two-hour sessions, allowing participants to build on their skills progressively. Participants register for the class with the understanding that they are committing to all three sessions, to be held on consecutive Wednesday evenings. While unavoidable absences are understood, the idea is to commit to the full course as the lessons build sequentially. Registration will remain open until May 13, the date of the initial session.
