Workshops and Events

The GC Digital Fellows lead up to a dozen workshops each semester during the academic year. These workshops provide hands-on training and practical information about digital tools and methods. All workshops are free and open to members of the Graduate Center community, however, due to limited space, we ask that you register for individual workshops through the links provided.

Below is a listing of GC Digital Fellows workshops as well as events related to the Fellows program. A full calendar of events related to GC Digital Initiatives is available through the GCDI Website.
