Please take a couple of minutes in the next week to scan the attached survey to tell us your preferences for seminar topics (choose as many as you would like), your thoughts on a new timing choice, and if you would come to seminars in French.
Please respond to ncr.rmg.seminars@gmail.com with topic numbers and choice of language, timing choice numbers and your preferences. Include additional information on topics you would like to see. Tell us if you could volunteer to help with seminars - what role you would like to play? – could you give us a seminar?
