6AM EST is not 9AM PST. It is, in fact, 3AM PST, and not a terribly appropriate time for an online meeting.
You’re welcome.

Because, you know, there aren’t any on-line calculators to help you figure things like that out.

Outlook takes care of those things for you… you can even add another time zone to your calendar display using tools > options > calendar options > time zone. The app doesn’t seem to be very popular among schools, probably b/c of licensing cost and admin challenges.

I had a producer who used to call me in NY from LA and he could never figure out the time difference. He called me at 2 in the morning quite often.
He said, “The sun comes up in NY before it does in LA, right? Then it’s gotta be earlier there.”
Oops. 🙂
