Program Schedule


Sections of the Spring 2023 Emerging Scholars Program will meet every Friday for 9 weeks at their scheduled times. We plan to offer 9 sections.

Section numbers and times correspond to those listed for COMS 1404 in SSOL. Note that Section 6, although listed on SSOL, will not be held this semester.

Each session is 75 minutes long, and is followed immediately by an attached 15-minutes long peer advising period. All sections will take place between 8:30 a.m. and 5:25 p.m. EDT/EST.

The dates for ESP this Fall are Fridays 09/22, 09/29, 10/06, 10/13, 10/20, 10/27, 11/03, 11/10, 11/17.
