The access instructions for each discussion group can be found below, as well biographies of each Discussion Group leader.
The meeting room will open 15 minutes prior to the scheduled starting time and holds a maximum of 25 attendees. Therefore, access will be on a first-come, first-serve basis.
The Discussion Groups are meant to be discussions on a particular topic, not lectures or webinars. It is through the give and take of these discussions that the best learning experiences will occur. Please come prepared with your questions.
