Hello!

Thanks to the four people who came this morning. It was great to meet you all!

Name

We decided our official group name will be the OER peer support group.

Schedule for the rest of term

We decided on the following schedule for the rest of term. We will continue to meet approximately once a month, on a Tuesday at 9 am, in the Icelandic Reading Room.
