What does SSSI provide for participants?
Your tuition fee covers 4.5 days of instruction including plenary presentations and workshops and a welcome gift. Each day we will provide light breakfasts, coffee and tea, and a full lunch. On the first day of the institute, we will serve a heartier breakfast as well as host an afternoon welcome reception with refreshments. Participants are also invited to attend several social events in the evenings such as happy hours and an evening at the Missouri Botanical Garden which includes dinner and an open bar.

All sessions will be held at the Washington University in St. Louis Danforth Campus in Hillman Hall.
