Accommodations

- You should bring your own power strips.
- Direct Cat5 and Wifi connections are possible, but you must first authenticate with the PLU student network, which will require a temporary login and password. These accounts are provided on an as-requested basis by getting ahold of David Allen (our PLU contact) and asking at the meeting.
- There is a great audio/visual projector and sound system in the room for multimedia presentations.
If you plan on bringing a desktop computer, please bring a mat something to set your computer equipment on. The tables in the room are hardwood, and we do not want to damage campus facilities.
