Religious Holiday Conflicts

We hope that you can join us for some aspects of the meeting, and we will miss you if you are unable to attend parts or all of the meeting due to your religious obligations. If you would like to attend the meeting, but have specific requests related to scheduling, please contact the Program Co-Chairs Jenny Hayden (jennifer.hayden@cedarcrest.edu) and Rachael Zhu (rezhu18@gmail.com).
