Click the registration link listed under the title of an upcoming program. You will be directed to a registration form that will send you the link to attend the webinar.

We want to make our webinars interactive for attendees. Some presentations include opportunities for submitting questions before or during the program. Due to time constraints, many question and answer sessions will be moderated by WU Stream staff.

You can find information on technology requirements and guidance on attending webinars using a variety of devices here.

A podcast is an audio program — like a radio show — that you can listen to at any time on a computer or download to a smartphone. Podcasts can be on any topic and usually feature interviews or stories.
10. Will I need to have a special app to listen to the Only at Willamette podcast?
You can listen to any Willamette podcast right from your computer. If you want to download episodes to listen to later or if you want to subscribe to podcasts on your smartphone, you can use one of the many apps currently available. Once it is released, the Only at Willamette podcast will be available on most major podcast services.
