Program Details

Format

Programs take place on Zoom in webinar format. Individual participants’ audio and video will be disabled, but students can actively participate using polls, Q&A and chat to hosts. Program includes live captioning, American sign language (ASL) interpretation, and will be recorded and posted on our website.
ASL TIP: If you would like to see the ASL interpreter, we recommend joining on a computer instead of a phone or tablet so the interpreter will be visible the entire time.
