Hello all,

I hope you all have had a restful break and are getting ready to try school in a new way. As promised, though a little bit later than I had hoped, here are some instructions about how EWB will be going to work for the next 8 weeks as we go fully online.

• We will still be having lab Wednesdays 6-7:50 EST
• These will be held using Cisco Webex
• Online labs will be conducted in a similar manner to regular labs
• There will be a time for weekly announcements and PIGS, followed by time for teams to split off and work individually
• Advisors will be scheduled to join the calls at certain times so each team will have access to them
• In each weekly email, a link to join the Webex call will be sent out
• There will be one link to join at 6pm to join the whole chapter and other links for each team
• You do not need to create a Webex account to join
• New members are expected to join us still for weekly labs
• Please make sure both your camera and microphone are working correctly prior to meetings
• Design meetings will be conducted by each design lead
• Your design lead will be contacting you soon to decide on when to hold these meetings each week
• You will again be using Webex for these meetings as well
• Attendance will be taken by your design leads for each meeting in lab
• You will not need to mark down your own attendance
• EPICS requirements
• Please see Andrew Pierce’s email for more details on this
• You will still be responsible for ALL EPICS requirements (i.e. PDHs, peer evals, IER, notebooks)
• We will be sending out more information as to how End-of-Semester design review will be conducted as  the time gets closer
• Slack will be replacing GroupMe from now on
• Please see the GroupMe message on how to join the Slack if you have not already
• Make sure your read ALL of Hollie’s weekly emails!
• This is how we will be communicating vital information every week
• Don’t wait to reach out to your design leads, leadership team, or even the advisors if you have issues or concerns

Thank you all for bearing with us while we figured out how best to proceed. Please stay safe and healthy during these times!
