We can have about 15 people, and the form will switch to a waitlist after we reach that number. If you find out that you cannot attend, please email kayleigh.bohemier@yale.edu to let her know that you cannot make it. If we have a waitlist, an email will go out the day before to registrants to confirm attendance and provide some logistics.
