Volunteers will take notes at small group discussions during the second half of the event (bring a laptop or transcribe your notes into a digital document within 48 hours). All notes will be gathered, summarized and given to a graphic facilitator who will create an illustrated report of the day. Student volunteers will receive a $50 gift card as a thank-you.
