We are very excited to be adding a new VCC—Virtual Combinatorics Colloquium—as part of the overall Northeastern Combinatorics Network. The VCCs are 'Webinar' format talks, delivered over the Zoom platform, viewed from the comfort of your own office, comfy chair, or even smartphone. There is no software to fuss with, just a link included in the talk announcement to click in order to join the meeting. We hope to 'see' you at the next one!

Upcoming VCCs

No scheduled VCCs at the moment, but refer to our home page for our other events!

Host a Local Viewing Party!

Campuses all over the Northeast, and beyond, will be logging in to the Zoom platform to watch these engaging lectures and to interact with the speakers in real time. Here are some suggestions for viewing party hosts:

• Arrange a room far in advance with a projection screen

• Advertise the talk (using posters that we will hopefully make available here!)

• Get faculty, graduate students and undergraduates to attend together

• Consider offering a 'preliminary' talk with a local speakering giving some background on the topic of the VCC talk.

• Offer snacks (veggies, coffee & cookies, pizza, whatever is appropriate) to entice students to attend

• Have a local faculty member give a pre-lecture introduction to the topic to get the audience up to speed

• Engage in group discussion afterwards

• For anyone who missed the lecture, send out a link to the archived version on the NCN YouTube Channel

Feel free to send us your ideas and reports of successful viewing parties. For future funding, it would help to document these events with photos!
