Question 3

What is Inside the Junior Summer Institute?

Accepted Answer

A one-hour, virtual conversation with past PPIA Fellows who will share what their JSI summer was really like, from coursework and campus life to friendships, challenges, and memorable moments.

Question 4

Is this an application information session?

Accepted Answer

The focus is the JSI experience itself. You’ll still have opportunities to ask questions that can help you decide whether JSI is right for you.

Question 5

Will Fellows from every JSI location participate?

Accepted Answer

We’ll feature past Fellows who can speak to their individual JSI experiences. Experiences may vary by institute, but the conversation will give you a better sense of what the summer can be like across the program.

Question 6

Will I be able to ask the Fellows questions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Live Q&A is a major part of the session. Bring the questions you would want to ask someone who has already been through JSI.

Question 7

Do I need to attend the September 23 session first?

Accepted Answer

No. Each session can stand on its own. If you are new to PPIA and JSI, the September 23 session provides a helpful introduction before hearing directly from Fellows.

Question 8

What should I expect to leave with?

Accepted Answer

A much more realistic picture of JSI and a better sense of whether the experience aligns with what you want from your summer and your longer-term goals.
