CIM Winter Intersession is completely virtual – all activities will take place online. Sessions generally run from 9:30am-noon and 2-5pm, Eastern time. Several sessions run concurrently, so you can choose the content you are most interested in and craft your own optimal experience. For those in time zones that may make real-time attendance difficult, we plan to record sessions and make them available to students for later watching.
