For the cumulative track, we asked twelve students to commit to attending all six workshops. If they missed a session, we asked them to make it up during weekly office hours. To accommodate participants’ schedules and the availability of the Brown Center, we held the workshops on the weekends, usually late on Saturday afternoon. None of our students dropped out of the track, although one student missed two sessions due to health and family issues. Two others were also juggling full-time jobs, one as a part-time CJS student and another who worked outside of the New York metro area as a participant in the new Lede program14attended all six sessions; five only missed one session; three missed two of the six sessions; and one (who worked a considerable distance outside of the city and was no longer enrolled in classes at the school) missed half of the sessions.
