Switch Volunteer Session?
by Scott Tse May 15, 2017

May 15, 2017

Hello, my name is Scott Tse and I am currently signed up as a tutorial host for Tutorial 8 (Far, 8:30-9:00AM). I have some schedule constraints with childcare that day that make it difficult for me to get to the convention center by 8:30AM. If possible, I wanted to see if I could switch to Tutorial 8 (Far, 12:50 - 12:30) on the same day which still looks like it needs someone to cover. Is it possible to make this switch? Thanks, Scott Tse <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&… [View More]
