    - does it benefit you to split up to cluster into sessions?

      - text message, voxer, phone calls, emails
    - Debrief each day and review the next day’s offerings

    - Take photos
- Etiquette for attending-
  - Be active in your sessions, if you a have questions, ask.
  - get the link or the handouts. Bookmark them in a folder so you can keep organized (or use google keep!)
  - If you have a question that requires more than a one or two sentence answer, better to ask after the session, or by email/DM
