Stress Management
This is a presentation on stress management in which participants may be able to define stress, learn a mindfulness technique, and develop further understanding of stress management strategies.
Makerspace Technology for Graduate Students
In this session, learn about makerspace technology and how to apply it to your graduate research ... and to unwind from your graduate research! The McBay Science Library Makerspace is open to students of all disciplines and provides technology instruction. Technology is offered free of cost and includes 3D printers, a laser cutter, Arduino microcontrollers, Raspberry Pi minicomputers and a sewing & embroidery machine.
Create a Simple Map from Aggregated Data
Do you have data that is based on an area; like by city, county, state, or country? This workshop will help you join your data to the geometry of your area(s) so you can map them.
