List of current seminars, asking for your ideas for 2011-12
Do you have ideas/suggestions for new 2011-2012 seminars?
If you have not attended any of the seminars, please consider doing so. Many of the students say that the seminars provide them with valuable information and opportunities to meet and connect with other students. Many of the seminars are accompanied by lunch or dinner. We are careful to include vegetarian and vegan options and a variety of food choices for participants.
Here is the list of the 2010-2011 seminars and workshops. If you have suggestions for new topics and speakers, please let us know so that we can plan accordingly.
