Packing: Attire is “Casual Friday”—something you’d wear to work on a dress-down day. Cohort members are encouraged to bring that book they have been wanting to read and do their best to leave work behind. Spring in New England can be unpredictable so we encourage you to check the forecast and consider bringing a warm jacket if 50-60 degree weather is expected. Also, we will be encouraging you to enjoy the grounds so please pack some good walking shoes.
