SLIG 2021 may be virtual, but there will be plenty of the traditional SLIG Experience throughout. We have already posted about our Wrap-up event and keynote speaker. Here are the other events you won't want to miss!
All-Participant Orientation
Sunday, January 10th, 5:00 pm
Come help us kick off three fun weeks of SLIG!
This event will include faculty and other introductions, information to help you make the most of your SLIG experience, and door prizes (must be present to win).

Course weeks: 11:30 - 1:00 and 4:00 - 5:00 pm
We will have all kinds of break-out rooms for you to join and/or move around in. Each day will have a little different flavor, so watch the evening announcements.
