Read the following letter:

Date: September 8, 2026
From: Dr. Alejandro Gomez, Director of the Medellin Biotech Innovation Hub
To: Maria Jose Alvarez, Coordinator of the Youth Science Exchange Program

Dear Ms. Alvarez,

I am writing to confirm the final logistical details for the upcoming Medellin Youth Biotech Exchange scheduled for October 12–18, 2026. As agreed in our last virtual meeting, the opening ceremony will take place on Monday, October 12, at 9:00 AM at the Medellin Innovation Hub.

Please note that all participating students must submit their parental consent forms and dietary restriction profiles by September 25, 2026. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate any late submissions due to caterer deadlines and insurance policies. Additionally, the university dormitories will be available for check-in starting at 2:00 PM on Sunday, October 11.

Lastly, please remind the chaperones that they are required to attend a brief orientation session on October 11 at 6:00 PM in the main conference room of the student residence.

Sincerely,
Dr. Alejandro Gomez
Director, Medellin Biotech Innovation Hub

Evaluate each answer choice against this specific detail and other details in the text.
