List of Workshops

In 2023 we are allowing students to register before all workshop topics are determined. Registrants will later receive a link to indicate workshop preferences. The list of 2023 workshops is below. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to honor all workshop preferences, but we will attempt to match students as best we can.
