MED Newsletter #2
July 1, 2017
Message from the Director
Greetings from VIA. The weather here in Silicon Valley is heating up and so is our excitement for your arrival later this month! As you prepare for joining MED, take some time to consider your goals and what you hope to accomplish and learn during the program. This will help you make the most of your time at Stanford this summer.
Please read the remainder of this newsletter carefully, as it contains important information about tasks to complete as well as the link to an orientation site that will help you get prepared for MED. We will be in touch in the coming weeks with additional information and guidance to support you on your journey. So don't forget to check your email regularly.
If you have any urgent questions in the meantime, feel free to get in touch.
Sincerely,
Lina
