Faculty or graduate students using the Teaching Theaters for research can expect to have one of the Teaching Theater support staff at hand during the research sessions. Staff are also available to assist in preparation for these sessions. For maximum benefit, faculty or graduate students should plan to meet at least one month in advance to the planned dates for the research session with the support staff.
