Individual and small-group meetings
Daniel Sack has limited availability for short one-on-one appointments with faculty during the afternoons of Wednesday, September 18* and Friday, September 20. Please indicate if you are interested in scheduling one of these appointments when completing the registration process. (*This date has been changed to accomodate the presenter's schedule).
Dr. Sack will also host a small group meeting with graduate students (date and time is TBD).
This event was originally scheduled in February 2019 but was postponed due to the federal budget situation. Individuals who registered for the February event must re-register for the September event.
