  • Fully register your NetID here and follow the instructions you receive via email.
  • Complete CITI training, online trainings, and/or readings as requested by your mentors (if applicable).
  • The YSSS staff will monitor flight numbers and will meet students arriving at Bradley International Airport. If there are any delays in your travel at any point, please email or call so we can adjust shuttle pick up times if necessary.
  • Review the YSSS Packing List here and pay special attention to the following items:
    • One dress outfit for the Academic Showcase on July 26, 2024.
      • Young women: dress or dress pants & blouse, dress shoes (no sneakers!)
      • Young men: dress pants & button down shirt with tie, dress shoes (no sneakers!)
    • Please bring the laptop provided to you by the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation to the program. There may be an opportunity during the program to meet with an educational advisor to discuss your college essay and application. If you were placed in a hybrid mentorship site, your laptop will be necessary to complete you independent work.
    • If you plan to bring snacks to keep in your room, please only pack those in resealable packages/containers to avoid attracting unwelcome guests.
