All members on the waitlist will be considered seated as auditors. If you do not wish to attend as an auditor, please refrain from putting your name on the waitlist. To be a reader, please be able to attend class from a quiet space with a stable internet connection so the instructor can clearly hear your read. Readers will be confirmed via email prior to class.
