One of my labmates did the same program and also noticed that the DC orientation is missing. It looks like they nixed it in favor of the three-part webinars, which I guess is cheaper for the NSF (though my labmate says the orientation was a lot of fun and we'll be missing out :( )
For those wondering (I guess we can keep a tally here), I'm also in the Tokyo, Japan EAPSI.
EDIT: I responded with a "yes" as soon as I got the email, and Elena acknowledged my response yesterday.
