Colleagues,
We are now planning our Fall activities, most of which will be in hybrid format: both on Zoom and in-person. For the many of you who have attended in the pre-COVID past, you know that we have shared wonderful afternoons of talks and meeting with colleagues. We would like to resume that in-person opportunity. On the other hand, Zoom has allowed many more people to participate and very much enriched our EPIC community and we want to keep the Zoom option open.
One of the unexpected positive outcomes of COVID is that very high quality camera–microphone equipment is now available at a reasonable price and we have purchased equipment that will allow in-person participants to easily be seen and heard in the Zoom room during Q&A .
We have also purchased equipment to assist those with hearing impairment wear comfortable ear pieces, or attach their own hearing aids, to a dedicated speaker microphone. This equipment can also be used on excursions, such as the planned guided visit to the Manhattanville campus in the Fall.
As we move ahead with scheduling, we need a better sense of your possible attendance so that we can reserve appropriate size spaces and catering. I hope that you will take a very few minutes to answer this brief survey on attendance .
Thank you in advance for your response and best wishes,
Jeanne Mager Stellman, President of EPIC
Professor Emerita of Public Health
