Pre-Conference Sessions - June 18-20
 

We are excited to announce that we will offer 14 Pre-Conference sessions, all designed and presented at no fee (with the exception of one, N - What We're Learning About the Brain, with a $40 material fee) to attendees. Our Pre-Conference offerings follow below in a day-by-day agenda, with all sessions to be held at CSUN's University Student Union (USU) complex, in the Northridge Center.

Link here for a 2-page campus map and look for the USU in cell F4, with a more detailed map of the USU complex on page 2. As shown, we'll be using the Northridge Center, location "20" on the USU map. Parking lot G3, on the south east corner of the campus, is the closest to the USU complex. Parking rates are $6 per day. Look for the parking kiosk to pay by credit card or with cash. Please be prepared with cash, as the credit card option has been known to call in sick, without notice.

Registration for each session is limited to 40 attendees on a first-come, first-served basis.
