The event will be broadcast live on Youtube beginning at 11 a.m. Questions can be submitted in advance using an online form.

Provost and Executive Vice President Elizabeth Chilton will offer opening and closing remarks in place of President Kirk Schulz, who is taking part in a meeting with Gov. Jay Inslee alongside other Washington university leaders.

Joining Chilton will be Senior Vice Provost Laura Griner Hill, Vice President and Chief Human Resource Officer Theresa Elliot-Cheslek, Assistant Vice President of Human Resource Services Lisa Gehring, as well as Kendra Wilkins-Fontenot and Ann Monroe, who serve as directors within Human Resource Services.
