+# Day 1 (Part 1) - Admin Stuff
+
+We are so excited you are here! These checklist items will be your main tasks for the next 7 days as you get acquainted with all things Commit.
+
+Our primary point of contact is Slack so the Engineer Success team will be messaging you there in a specific channel made just for you (your EPX channel)!
+
+If you have any questions at all during your onboarding, you can direct them there.
+
+**Expectations**:
+
+During your first week at Commit, your focus is on your [HOP Demo](https://docs.commit.dev/eps/ep-hop) and interviewing with Startup Partners (we call them SPs) to start your 3 month pilot. 
+You'll present your HOP Demo next Thursday (Day 7 of your Onboarding) to other EPs, graduates (we call them GPs) and interested community members! 
+We've got a few of the most recent ones [recorded](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQRTWrxEpL0SpjyzuIcvePs1LKyTP7pI3) for you to get an idea of what to expect when presenting your demo, and hopefully get you excited!

+
+ -   Work on a blog post
+	- The Engineer Success and Content teams will help you with this!
