3. Are WU Stream programs free?

Yes! WU Stream programs are available to Willamette alumni, parents, students, future students and community members at no cost.


4. Do I need to register to watch a WU Stream program?

To attend a live online event, you will need to register. This allows us to know who is attending and to manage questions and comments during the event. However, most programs will also be recorded and shared online to be watched at any time.


5. How do I register for a WU Stream webinar?

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. Then, you can add the event to your calendar. You will automatically receive a reminder email the day before the event with instructions on how to join the live session.

7. Can I interact with the presenter during 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.


8. What kind of computer do I need to attend a WU Stream event?

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


9. What is a podcast?

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.
