• East Campus “Pack the Boardroom” Rally 11 am - 1 pm. We will meet for 10 minutes (attendance check) and then walk to the rally.
• An optional Apache Arrow assignment is available for students who do not wish to attend the rally. Submit the index.qmd file (completed) on Canvas. If you attended class, you do not need to submit anything, but it would be beneficial to work through the questions to see how Arrow works.
