About the Virtual Presentation Session
Students and faculty who selected to do a virtual presentation will submit a 2-3 minute pre-recordings of their presentation in advance of the Symposium that will be shown as part of the in-person event. Additionally, videos will be uploaded to the online conference site Gather.Town so that students can invite their faculty mentors, peers, and family for a live virtual presentation at their convenience. Virtual presentations are not live and can be enjoyed any time until Friday, April 21.

Please mute your mic audio whenever someone else is presenting.
Wear business casual attire.
Have the best audio and video quality possible and a reliable internet connection.
Because there is a small delay with audio and video calls, wait a second before responding to someone in the call so that you do not cut them off mid-sentence.
Do not have extremely loud or distracting audio in the background while you are speaking.
