recorded presentations and the presenter's slides will be created. This
archive will be available via the web within a couple weeks of the live
webinar. You can access last year's presentations at

secure a common campus location for viewing the webinar, but you may also
advise faculty members, students, and staff that they can register
individually and view the webinar from their desktops.
