About the CPPG Meetings:

• Either the PI or a student/staff person of choice may present

• Kit Leffler will contact all PIs the week before their presentation date for the speaker name and title of talk. This information will be distributed via CPPG e-newsletter.

• If it is your group’s week to present, please arrive to the event space five minutes early with a flash drive in order to set up.

• Informal presentations should be considered a “chalk talk style” and should range from 15-20 minutes with a 5-minute Q&A in conclusion
