TEI’s perennially popular Federal Tax Course – Level 1 returned to its immersive in-person format at the Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, last month. This year’s course—the first to be offered since April 2019—drew over ninety registrants from across the United States and Canada, rivaling TEI’s pre-pandemic attendance expectations for this event. Attendees particularly appreciated the course’s new session, Taxation of Financial Instruments and Hedging, and took full advantage of the extended cocktail and networking reception sponsored by Baker & McKenzie LLP. The Institute acknowledges—and sincerely thanks—Kathy Castillo and Julia Lagun of TEI’s Federal Tax Committee for their tireless efforts to ensure the success of this year’s course.
