Evenings are spent preparing class assignments, attending presentations and workshops, working on design and technical projects, and attending plays at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

On Saturday July 27 the main program concludes with a full day of structured lab sessions, advising, and an evening closing party. Residence Hall checkout is Sunday, July 28 at 10:00 am.
