5) In the breakout rooms, each team/presenter should gravitate towards the signage of their team/presenter name.  (Food will be at the tables!) This will help the traffic and conversation flow.

Instructions for Non-Presenters:

1) Attend the symposium!  Support your fellow classmates!  First-year students: experience the symposium to see what you'll do next year!

2) Each presentation is 20 minutes total; please exit/enter the rooms during the Q&A to minimize distractions

3) Attend the breakouts after each presentation session.  Each presentation room has their own breakout room.  [Thursday evening - all presentations adjurn to the Commons for a large breakout session; Friday - presentations in Room 1028 use Room 1024 for a breakout, and presenters in Room 1040 use Room 1046 for a breakout.]  You'll have time to ask follow-up questions about findings, tell the presenters how outstanding their material was organized, and celebrate their accomplishments.

4) Enjoy the snacks in the breakout sessions -
