ALC Update!
Ticket Reservations & Intro to Program Coordinators
Dear ALC Participants!
Hello again from Stanford!
At ALC, we know that learning about American culture doesn't just happen in the classroom - it also happens during late night conversations in dorms, during bus rides, and out in the local community. That's why we've organized lots of activities that get you out and meeting new people!
For three of these activities, you will need to reserve a ticket in order to participate. Each of the activities below is OPTIONAL, but if you would like VIA to reserve a ticket and/or transportation for you, please submit your request using the online form below by JULY 19th.
Once you place a request, you cannot change your tickets, and if you miss the July 19 deadline, we will not be able to reserve a ticket for you. You can pay for the tickets by cash after you arrive in Stanford. It is best to reserve soon, because tickets may sell out.
Below are brief descriptions of the activities and the cost.
