How far in advance do I need to call in order to schedule an outreach?

We generally ask that you schedule at least two weeks in advance.  Time slots fill up quickly so the sooner you call, the better.

Is there a minimum or maximum number of people required for a show? 

Outreaches:  There is no set minimum or maximum number of people required for an outreach.  We prefer groups of around 10-25 people at a time, but shows can be adapted for larger audiences as well.  

Tours of the department: There is no minimum number of people required for a tour; however, due to the limited size of our labs, we generally cannot accept requests from groups with more than 20 people.
