Workshops

Seven concurrent workshops are offered. Each will be offered twice, one at 4:15 pm and the other at 5:30 pm. A 15 minute refreshment break is scheduled between the two sessions.

SROP scholars are asked to identify their top three choices. Due to limited seating scholars will be assigned to two workshops. Every effort will be made to schedule in accordance with the scholars’ priorities. Please indicate your choice for workshops on the CIC/SROP Registration Site.
