at Cape Cod Community College's Tilden Arts Center in West Barnstable. </span></div>

issues affecting the region, but also to give people, especially students, a chance to interact with professional researchers. These opportunities can be greatly enhanced when people can meet in-person, have conversations, and make connections with others
in the community.</span></p>
