New Online Format:
We originally intended to offer the seminar for one week on the beautiful Michigan State University campus in East Lansing. However, concerns and restrictions related to the spread of coronavirus have led us to move the seminar to an online format.
In addition, we have decided to spread the material out over two weeks so that we spend fewer hours each day in front of screens.
