All TIME 2000 students without an assignment at this time should be seated quietly in the auditorium, behind the guests. If you need to report to your next job before 11am, sit on an aisle so that you may leave quietly. Most importantly, TIME 2000 students should be good role models for the high school students. Please do not talk during the presentations. Remember to allow the high school guests to answer the questions posed by the presenters. 10:45am (shortly before the keynote speaker finishes his presentation): * Presenter Escorts Meet the presenter you will escort to a classroom in the SU lobby at the time requested. This could actually be earlier than 10:45am. Check with Nicole as per the instructions in the Excel file. Sit in the back, on an aisle, so you can leave discreetly. * EQUIPMENT MONITORS: If "Equipment" is your job assignment, you are also the presenter escort. Follow instructions for presenter escort, above and in the excel file. The presenter may be using PowerPoint and a projector. Rooms in Powdermaker Hall have cabinets or closets with all the equipment. Pick up keys for the cabinets from Lori in PH 002 before you go to the assigned classroom.

All TIME 2000 students in a classroom should offer their assistance to the presenter. Also assist with the distribution and collection of calculators and other materials. Help ensure that all equipment is collected from students before students leave the classroom. * At the end of the first workshop, presenters will stay in the same room and students will move to a different room for the second session. Students in the same room for Session I will move together, as a group, to a room for session II. When the first workshop ends, announce to the students in the room to follow you to the next workshop. Know your assigned room numbers! 12:15pm-1:05pm: Session II Escorts should lead the guests to the second room. The room number is listed in the attached Excel file and can also be found in the high school students' folders. There are no room signs for Session II as your group of students is already with you.

Q&A Session with TIME 2000 Student Panel: All TIME 2000 Students: Please help with crowd and noise control. It was difficult to hear the panel discussion in previous years.
