  3. Once our office receives your form we will contact you within 2-3 business days
  4. If you request a presenter and we are able to accommodate your request, you are required to provide a list of students who have RSVP'd for the event. This RSVP list should be emailed to the OCM presenter no later than 2 days before your event.  We ask that you have at least 10 students in attendance at any OCM-led workshop.
