Schedule FAQs Answered

Information below was updated 5/9/2016 for Kellogg 2016 and additional posts will be added as necessary:

There have been a number of inquiries about the Kellogg Institute schedule, so I thought this would be a good forum to present those answers for everyone's benefit.

If you have a related question that's not addressed below, please post it in the comments.

Q: How long will we be in class each day?

• For a detailed schedule, see the calendar in the right sidebar. Generally speaking, the classroom schedule is Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday -Thursday 9am - 4pm with a lunch break from 11:30am-1pm, and Friday class meets from 9am-11:30am.  See the calendar in the right sidebar for more details.
• Optional mini-sessions may be scheduled for a few evenings, and an optional -- but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- research workshop is scheduled for Wednesday morning July 20.
• Weekends and evenings are FREE time -- a few optional activities will be scheduled, but you are free to sight see in the area on your own, visit friends/relatives in the area, or take in some of An Appalachian Summer Festival's arts & cultural offerings here on campus.

Q: I plan to go home for the "midterm" weekend. When do I need to be back in the residence hall?

• As long as you are back in class the following Monday morning, your weekend schedule is yours.

Q: I need to miss a day of class for ________ reason. What should I do?

• Kellogg Institute participants are expected to attend all classroom sessions. You should alert the Kellogg director and the instructor if you must miss any class time, and ask a classmate to collect any handouts for you. The instructor will advise if there is any work/assignment to be made up.

Q: How much time will we need to spend studying or working on projects?

• This varies greatly by individual and by seminar. (Those who are taking the optional graduate credits might want to spend additional time after class summarizing their notes in preparation for their practicum literature review and, if elected, for reaction papers required for the grade in HE 6090.) The majority of Kelloggers from years past agree that while there is a lot of information to process during the Institute, there is ample time for socializing, working out, meeting with Special Interest Groups, catching up on e-mails, or just vegging out.

Q: When do we finish on the last day?

• There is a classroom session from 9am - 10:30 am on Friday July 29. After that, you are free to leave. The Kellogg-provided bus to the Charlotte airport departs at 12 noon --sharp!  Those with their own transportation must check-out of the residence hall no later than 1:00pm that day so that housekeeping can begin preparations for incoming groups.
