Our class schedule for Saturday through Monday is posted below; please keep in mind that there may be last-minute changes.

In addition to the full-day schedule shown here, we’ll have a lot going on Friday and Monday, as well. Friday we’ll have our traditional Happy Hour and welcome, an introduction by faculty of the classes they’ll teach, followed by Sessionball (where everyone is invited to lead a session song at their preferred pace).
