HFL Plan for 2024 Cohort:
Our program will consist of two separate cohorts. One will be exclusively virtual (the virtual cohort) and the other will be in-person (the in-person cohort).
The virtual cohort will participate in programming hosted on Zoom and their schedule will run from approximately 10:00AM-6:00PM on one day in October 2024.
The in-person cohort will participate in a program that largely centers around Fall Fest, a program hosted by the UVA Office of Admissions. The cohort will meet on Zoom with HFL as an introductory meeting a few days before Fall Fest to discuss the schedule for the program. During this Zoom meeting, the cohort will participate in some small icebreakers and bonding before they come to grounds. When they come to grounds, they will participate in Fall Fest and then join HFL for supplemental programing for one day.
