2019 PAIR Presentations

Each of the teams will be giving brief, engaging presentations of their accomplishments of the past year and plans for the coming year. Time for interacting with the presenters will be available after each set of presentations. The first half of the PAIR presentations will be devoted to the Tier I projects. The second half of the PAIR presentations will focus on the Tier II and Tier III teams.
