OSG-VSP Schedule¶

Below is the schedule for the OSG Virtual School Pilot 2020. We will probably make small changes up to and even during the event. However, the overall plan will probably not change much.

All times are U.S. Central Daylight Time.

Notes:

• Each lecture is offered twice on the same day. Choose one time that is convenient for you or, if you like, attend both. Lectures will be held in the Blackboard Collaborate video conference system; more details will be posted and emailed soon.

• Try to attend at least one Work Time per day. This is time for you to work on exercises or getting your research code running. During a Work Time, plan to be on Slack; from there, you can chat with staff and participants and, if needed, arrange individual or group audio/video meetings.

• Consultations are one-on-one meetings with your mentor. You will work with your mentor to schedule exact times.
