Stupidity is a capital offense. A summary not indictable.
went to the info session today
12 week course.
20 spaces in it, and they expect over 100 applications.
Final decisions for acceptance is Nov 30. ( they put the applications into a tub and draw out 20.)
then 5 more for "standby"
It is an 18 year old program, with over 800 graduates.
The instructors are all volunteers.
The benefits they offer, a 'meal ticket' worth $8.00 good at the student union building every day there is a course ( so once a week ), transit costs on program days. and all books needed. The student ID gets you complete access to all student services on campus, including the pool and recreation facilities.
