  1. There seems to be something wrong with the registration link. Can someone confirm it is the right link and the discrepancies in the date/time of the session. Thanks!

  2. Will closed captioning be provded? Or at least turn on the automatically generated captions (available through Zoom) so deaf participants such as myself can join?

    Thanks
