FINAL SCHEDULE - MAY 4th, 2008, SCHI SYMPOSIUM

Virtual Cocktail Hour! May 2nd 3:30-4:30 PST

On May 2nd (3:30-4:30 PST) SCHI will be holding a Virtual Cocktail Hour on our Breeze web-conferencing platform. The Symposium on the 4th will be fairly structured, so this is a great opportunity for students registered for the Symposium, to meet virtually, and get to know each other in advance of the Sunday workshop. Equally, it is also a great time to test your system with the Breeze software. We will send out Breeze access URLs
