<p style="margin:0in"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The format of the event is eight Zoom calls organized by the club categories with breakout rooms for individual groups that participants can move between freely.</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">
You can find the ‘map’ of groups on the ASA website: <</span><a href="http://asa.mit.edu/sites/default/files/documents/IAP21%20Midway%20Group%20Directory.pdf"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1155CC">http://asa.mit.edu/sites/default/files/documents/IAP21%20Midway%20Group%20Directory.pdf</span></a><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">>
These links will be available on the midway.mit.edu site, and <b>we are uploading the links on the website backend: you do not need to add your own Zoom link, and should not change it once it has been uploaded</b>. (It will get very confusing for students
trying to find groups if they are switching between the large calls and individual ones, and the point of this format is to streamline exploration.) We are directing students participating in the event to both the midway.mit.edu site and the ASA homepage,
to discover groups with whichever platform they find easier, whether with a more nuanced search on the Midway site or through exploring the broader categories. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
