The agenda for the meeting will be developed with Dr. Lee, who will be in attendance for the training to ensure we have appropriate faculty oversight. We feel this is an important event to have in person, which is why we have requested reserving Lecture Hall D.

Attendance will be taken, and a post-event recap will be sent to Dr. Shabloski when the event is complete.
