DRAFT
Program Details
“The culture of DRAFT is created by the students of DRAFT. It’s yours and it’s up to you. You built something powerful, something new, something beautiful together this week. Now you know what you can create with others when you join together in this spirit. Be ready and keep building.”
DRAFT is offered FREE of charge to invited students! There are a limited number of spots for each year’s cohort and spots are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. You can apply to DRAFT 2025 here.
DRAFT consists of these components:
- On Campus component. Students stay on Southwestern’s campus for a week during the summer (June 24th-June 29th). Students will participate in daily activities and exercises that provide immersive learning experiences. Additionally students will attend social events on campus and around Georgetown.
- Online component. The on-campus experience is followed by a three-week online portion where students will write short essays each week with our DRAFT Student Coordinators.
- Academic year component. You will be enrolled in First-Year Seminar (FYS) course as a cohort. This course carries over key themes of your time during DRAFT. In addition, you will continue to meet with your current DRAFT peers & previous DRAFT cohorts at organized DRAFT social events. As a DRAFT Scholar, you will also be assigned to an Academic Advisor who is involved in the program.
Students enrolled in the DRAFT program will receive a FREE Chromebook upon their successful completion of the summer week portion of the program.
