  • Immersion Program

    I understand this is an intensive and fast-paced immersion program that involves program sessions that will extend beyond normal workday hours during the on-site program week. Participation requires arrival for program events on Sunday, June 8, and departure no later than 1:30 PM on June 13, and my attendance is required at all virtual and in-person program weeks, including completing capstone work, I also understand that the Freight Academy program involves field tours that require walking and standing time and that industrial facility tours, by their nature, are not generally ADA compliant venues and have considered this in making this application. All program fees are due no later than March 28, 2025 / 5 weeks after notification of acceptance into the program.
    I understand that is this a six-day immersion program, which requires attendance at all events and lodging at onsite facility.
