spring quarter events.January and March events were in person and attendance was not recorded (orange star).Our biggest challenge following the shelter-in-place orders was to adjust a larger event originallyplanned for April: a half-day symposium entitled "Teaching to Engage the Multi-PerspectiveClassroom", centered around themes of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our planned formatconsisted of 2 talks followed by a lightning talk session with 4 speakers that would segue into apanel. It was already clear in April, after just one month working virtually, that “Zoom fatigue”was a very real phenomenon, now well-documented as the particularly exhausting nature ofvideo calls [7,8]. Therefore, a full-day event would not be a preferable format. We

/Planned: For our department, a final document (oral/writtencommunication) is required for the internships/research experiences that receive credit. To helpthe students obtain more content for their meetings, I started requiring the students taking theinternship and undergraduate research courses to perform the required presentation for this workat a chapter meeting. This provides a formal situation for the presentation; however, the studentaudience can be viewed as friendly. This approach then allows younger students to see futureopportunities while learning from the internship/research experience. Not every faculty specifiesthe chapter meeting for the document, but involving several faculty can quickly fill the meetingslots.For the current ABET
