CHECK IN PROCESS
Please login 5-10 minutes early, as arriving late may disrupt the meeting. This event is created with a waiting room to check in guests once the host is ready to start. The name you registered with will appear as your reservation when you enter the waiting room. This link is unique to you, so please do not share your Zoom link with anyone.

ARTIST TALK STRUCTURE
Guests will be muted for the entire presentation. If you have a question in the middle of the lecture, you may ask in the chat.

You may use the “raise hand” feature and a monitor will unmute you briefly to ask your question.
