You said you set the variable through:
<dtml-call "REQUEST.SESSION.set('undergradProjectsDirected', [ ])">
You wrote that this does not work:
<dtml-call "(REQUEST.SESSION.get('undergraduateProjectsDirected')).append([student_name, description])">
Of course it does not work because in both cases the names of the session vars are completely different..
so why should this work?

Actually, it does exist as I mentioned in my original message. If it did not exist, then <dtml-var "REQUEST.SESSION"> would yield a value of None for it. Also, if this were the case, then simply changing the name of the variable would not solve the problem.

Check the spelling of your session key! Of course you're getting an error when you are trying to append to something that does not exist.
