Please plan to be early to avoid being late due to inadequate maps, confusing road signs, road construction, heavy traffic, parking difficulties, inclement weather or uncooperative children. 

Professor Sepoc has another workshop that ends 15 minutes before this one begins, so please be sure to give her the space (both physical and mental) to set up so that our program can start on time!
