great idea bad timing up here !!!!
our "normal" i.e. 20-24 year old full time students are not in class then
the "professsional eduction" i.e. 1 or 2 days per week whilst in full time jobs
are in other projects
the faculty are on the beach
but
maybe some could hook up as an individual activity ?
good luck
