You have a presentation coming up. You’ve dusted up your talking points and rehearsed what you’re going to say. But you’re concerned about the visual aid for your presentation—does it look good? Will it convey your message? Maybe it’s a slide deck. Maybe it’s a poster. Maybe it’s a physical object, or writing on a whiteboard. Maybe you haven’t even decided if you’re going to have a visual aid at all.

Zotero is a tool to help you organize your research, especially your literature review materials. In this workshop you will learn how to use Zotero to collect and organize resources and to automatically format citations for your project. This is a hybrid workshop - join us in person in Tisch Library, or on Zoom.

Please make sure you have Zotero installed and running on your laptop before the workshop.

It's that time of the semester again! 

Taking a break from studying is important to reduce stress, improve focus, and refresh your mind and body. Join us during Reading Period for an array of activities, a movie screening, snacks, and therapy animals!

See the schedule of events and locations below. We hope to see you there!

Come make a custom stamp while learning the foundations of laser engraving. We’'ll teach you what a laser engraver does, how to make your own design, preparing your file for print, and considerations for choosing a material. You’ll create your own stamp and we'll talk through next steps to continue working with laser engraving!

Come take a (drum) break and de-stress by playing with digital sounds! Using pre-set instruments, you'll be able to make a percussive beat and add some instrumentals in Ableton, a digital audio workstation for making music. We've selected some easy-to-use tools to get started so we can focus on playing around, being creative, and letting out stress! Participants are welcome to come and go as they need.
