• Applicants will be notified of their acceptance by early July, 2018.
• Upon acceptance, applicants are expected to schedule their own immersion activity within a Ventura County community.

It is highly encouraged that immersion activities take place prior to the start of the cohort year; it is required that it is completed by graduation.
