Hi,

Today we worked on finalizing ideas/programs for the bootcamp. The next time the team meets, we'll go into detail about content, learning outcomes, collecting data, but I wanted to:

  1.  Get any feedback on messaging;
  2.  Approval for email with the message below (and social media content);

Glyn and I will working with our student leaders to figure out appropriate activities during the breaks.

Best,
Jenny
