Note
: If you are interested in a topic but don't see a workshop at your level, please contact the Technology Training Coordinator at techtrain@email.smith.edu to discuss other training options.


Registering for a Workshop

All workshops have a limited capacity, so we ask you to sign up only for workshops that are important for your academic or administrative projects, and that you are sure you can attend. 

If you register for a workshop then find you cannot attend, it is essential to let us know as soon as possible so we can give your spot to the next person on the waiting list.

To register for one or more workshops, click on the registration link on the workshop description page, or go directly to the online registration form.
