Please wait to make travel arrangements until you have received your confirmation email after registering for the program. Registration for IntroDUCKtion is open now. Unfortunately, we are unable to change your registration to accommodate previously made travel plans. For instance, we cannot add you to a full session even if you’ve made flight reservations before attempting to register.
