MVLA summer school recruitment proves to be challenging

The initial sign-up window closed April 23, with roughly 350 students registered for the first session of summer school and 330 for the second. In comparison, in 2019, 510 students attended the first session and 489 showed up for the second. Students can sign up for both sessions if they have multiple semesters’ worth of work to make up.
