6 Kickoff Event

COPALI started with a kickoff event that lasted an entire day in Rochester, NY. The event was held at the SUNY Brockport Downtown campus in Rochester. The plan was to bring everyone together to set expectations, engage in some community building, and meet each other in person. This way, as the tracks worked asynchronously, there was a basis for better understanding each other.
