Project Advance Summer Institute 2020- COVID-19 Update
Syracuse University has announced that it has cancelled all Summer 2020 programming on campus and moved all courses online. As a consequence, Project Advance is altering our 2020 Summer Institute to comply with Syracuse University policy.
After careful consultation with our faculty, Project Advance will be training teachers in the courses below for Summer Institute 2020.
If you had previously been accepted for one of these courses, or if you had previously been accepted to attend and be trained in a course that is not listed below, and have not contacted by a Project Advance staff member, please email help@supa.syr.edu.
Given the nature of remote instruction, it is likely that the typical all-day, week-long schedule for these workshops will also need to be adjusted to accommodate the virtual learning environment. That will likely translate into shorter synchronous meeting periods each day, combined with some asynchronous work, but over a longer period of time, e.g., 2-3 weeks rather than a single week.
If you have been accepted to a course but your Summer Institute training can be deferred until next summer, Project Advance would strongly recommend doing so, particularly given the challenges associated with remote participation and added time commitments. If you have already been approved to attend this year’s Summer Institute, our office can archive your application and ‘hold your space’ for next year. Similarly, if your application is pending, we can archive any documents already submitted to hold for review next year.
If you have already made a hotel reservation with the SU Sheraton or another area hotel, please be sure to cancel your reservation and any other travel arrangements.
