[With apologies for cross-posting, please circulate widely]
Dear all,
I’m writing now to share the NULab’s spring 2021 calendar of events, included below and summarized in the attached flyer. We have some very exciting panels, workshops, and other events planned for the spring.
You can find additional details and registration information for these events at: https://web.northeastern.edu/nulab/events/.
We’ll share any updates or newly-added events on the NULab events page;
we’ll also circulate these through the NUDIGITAL list. All spring 2021 NULab events will be virtual. These events are free and open to the public, but registration is required. Please contact [log in to unmask]
with any questions.
Please share this message with anyone you know who might be interested—we hope to see you this spring!
All my best,
Sarah
