The Oakland Airport is approximately 30 minutes from the hotel. Dress at the Institute is primarily casual because of the informal classroom surroundings. Participants can dress more formally for evening receptions and dinners with special guests. Dress should accommodate the cool evenings in the Bay Area. The program begins promptly on Monday morning, July 23, and concludes with the graduation luncheon ceremony on Thursday, July 26, 2001.
Time is allotted for reading assignments and informal group meetings during the day and evening.
Daily classroom schedules, reading assignments, and group sessions are demanding. Therefore, participants' families cannot be accommodated by the Institute. The tuition for each participant is recharged to the campus, medical center, or Laboratory. Locations are responsible for covering participants' travel expenses.
