Wireless Internet Access

All participants will have access to wireless internet ("PSU Guest"). There is no username/password.

Presentation Times

Presentations should be delivered in the order indicated on the program, unless all members of the panel agree otherwise. Each presenter will have the amount of time in the session, divided by the number of presenters, to give a presentation and take questions. Question and answer should take place after each presentation, rather than at the end of the session. Panel chairs are in charge of timing. Each room will have a projector and a laptop; please bring a USB key or other method of transferring your presentation to the laptop.

Meals

Breakfast: A continental breakfast is available in the University Grill Restaurant for hotel guests.

Lunch: Lunch will be provided each day of the workshops and conference; heavy appetizers will be provided for each evening reception. Lunch will be provided for workshop and conference registrants in the Willamette Ballroom. There are various locations within the building to eat.

Note: The mentoring lunch will be held on Friday, June 19 from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm. Table assignments will be provided, and are intended to match senior participants with more junior participants.

Workshop Software
