Undergraduate Workshop Series

Start your semester off right with Fogler Library’s series of Workshops. Learn how to use the library to find what you need for assignments, how to use library tools when confronted with paywalls, and how to identify reliable resources. Each of these three individual workshops, a half hour in length, will be offered twice the week of Sept. 4th in Fogler Library’s Library Classroom 2. For a full schedule and more information, go to our Workshops Guide.

Salon: Back to the Future: The Post-ChatGPT Classroom

The Lynch Room has reopened with a new moniker – The Salon – a re-envisioning of this space as a place for our community to congregate, discuss, and collaborate on ideas. We hope that the newly minted multidisciplinary Salon Series, with rich topical themes, will foster the kind of conversations and action that will be remembered for a lifetime. Join us on Monday, September 18, 2023, from 12:00-1:30pm at our hybrid salon Back to the Future: The Post-ChatGPT Classroom. Please visit the Salon website to learn about future salons.
