Plan ahead for rest, personal care, and other needs so you can arrive promptly and participate in all activities. If you require an adjustment to your schedule, request approval from a DO-IT staff member.
Show your appreciation for the people who are contributing their time and talents to this program by keeping an open and respectful attitude. Practice self-advocacy! If you require special disability-related accommodations in order to participate, request them from the presenter or a DO-IT staff member. Complete individual or group projects as assigned. Use time available during open computer labs to complete newsletter articles and other assignments. Abide by all curfews and gather only in designated campus locations. In McCarty Hall, please remember that only female Scholars are permitted on 3rd Floor North and only male Scholars are permitted on 3rd Floor South. The main McCarty lobby and library are open to everyone.
If you have suggestions for additional activities to add to the schedule, share your ideas with any DO-IT staff member.
On your schedule look for the following major areas of focus for each activity:
Be aware of your personal safety during the program, both on campus and off campus. Travel in a group of 3 or more that include an intern or a staff member. Keep track of your roommate or other "buddy."
