Online Workshops
Most LTRC workshops are held in Poe Labs or the The Friday Institute. Because of space limitations, we ask that you register for workshops, and you can do so via e-mail to Bethany Smith (bethany_smith@ncsu.edu) or phone to 515-3054. LTRC staff will also work with graduate and undergraduate student groups to offer workshops for their members.
