IRC University Chat meeting:

The IRC University Chats started in April this year to enable people who are working their way through any of the IIGS™ U courses to meet the course designers and discuss specific aspects of the course they are doing. These IRC Meetings are held on the 3rd Sunday of every month at 6:00 pm (PST). Come along and meet the Instructors and Staff of the IIGS™ University for discussion and/or questions regarding the genealogy classes run by the IIGS™.
