The 2021 Summer Program will be all virtual!
After discussion with the ICPSR Council at its recent meeting, the Summer Program has decided its 2021 mode of instruction will be online. This decision was made with consideration of the current public health information about the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to begin detailed planning.
We learned a lot from our experiences this past summer, and we will incorporate that information into the 2021 program in order to provide the best educational experience. The staff will now move to schedule its main program of offerings and engage the instructional staff. The four-week sessions will be held between June 21 and August 13. The short workshop program will begin in May and extend into August. We will plan for part-day sessions rather than full days of instruction in the short workshops. As a result we expect to offer one or two–week short workshops rather than two to five-day short workshops.
As additional information becomes available, we will announce it here on the Summer Program website. If you would like to know about how the 2020 Summer Program went, check out our YouTube channel for an electronic scrapbook.
Lastly, the ICPSR Summer Program plans to return to in-person instruction in the summer of 2022.
