What do I need to bring?

Please make sure you have a pair of working headphones & webcam or a built-in laptop camera & microphone. These meetings are interactive and conversational, and we ask that students keep their cameras on. This way, students can introduce themselves and join in with discussions so that everyone can network and meet each other properly.
