Odyssey Course sessions for Class of 2024: All sessions except for November will be held in-person at the Conference Center at Waltham Woods (Directions). If it becomes necessary at any point, sessions will move online. Class Sessions will run from 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM if in person. Virtual classes will be split over the course of two days, with each part running from 12:30 PM - 4:00 PM.
Note: If an Odyssey session needs to move to online, the session will be split into 2 consecutive days on Zoom. For example, if we need to change the September 28 session to Zoom, the session will be held the following Monday and Tuesday from 12:30 PM - 4 PM Eastern, with ACEC students from other states.
