How do I get there? Is there parking?
There will be limited parking at the Primary School campus, with some additional spots available at a nearby school. We highly recommend that you use public transportation or a rideshare/ taxi service, if that is feasible for you.
The campus is within a six-minute walk of several bus routes, including the D2, D6, 31, 33, and the DC Circulator Georgetown-Union Station route.
What’s the tech situation?
What’s the tech situation?
All classrooms are equipped with Apple AirPlay. If you use a PC, let us know, and we’ll make sure to have an adaptor/dongle ready for you–though it’s also probably a good idea to bring one from home if you have one that works with your specific device.
If you experience tech issues during the week of WISSIT, either notify someone on the leadership team, or you can send a request to the WIS IT Team by emailing support@wis.edu.
What’s the food situation?
What’s the food situation?
A light breakfast will be available in the mornings, and coffee service through 1:30pm each day except for Wednesday (Day at the Museums).

Dietary needs policy:
All catered food at the institute will be free of nuts, pork, and shellfish. There will always be vegetarian options.
If you have any dietary needs not already covered, we encourage you to bring in your own lunch. A refrigerator and microwave will be available for your use. Please ask any WISSIT staff or volunteer for assistance.

Will I get a roster for my course(s)?
Yes, we will send all in-person IC leaders (including museums courses) a course roster the Sunday before WISSIT begins. Please note that this will not be a final roster, as participants can change their selections up to the last minute.
How do I select or modify my course selections?
How do I select or modify my course selections?
For in-person courses, faculty do not need to register* in advance for a course they’d like to attend. We do recommend that you check in with the WISSIT Logistics Coordinator or the course leader to see if the course is already full.
*Please note: For Museum Day courses, please check in with the WISSIT Logistics Coordinator first as some courses have strict capacity restrictions. There are also a few courses that require us to submit an attendee list ahead of time for security reasons. They can assist you with this.
