If your schedule does not allow you to attend a scheduled workshop, or if there is a topic that you need that is not scheduled, please feel free to contact ITS and request that a workshop be offered for you, or for you and other members of your staff.

Open House

We will have special “Open House” activities to introduce you to the new, T3 Center in the LRC later. Watch for details.
