I want to know the workshop schedule...

 

Workshop Schedule

All MSU students are invited to attend all workshops.
Due to limited space, all workshops require that you sign-up ahead of time in
Morehead Hall, room 337.

Call 973-655-5194 if you have questions.

These workshops are designed to help you with self-exploration or the job hunt: the more you know about yourself and your own interests, values and skills, the better your choices of major and career will be. Cooperative Education workshops are required of those students wishing to do a co-op experience.

You may also see the workshop schedule by month by clicking here or visiting the university calendar at www.montclair.edu/calendar.
