Monthly Office Hours
NDACAN is hosting monthly Office Hours this Spring 2024 from 11am to 12pm EST on the third Friday of each month from January to May. The Office Hours are an opportunity to get support from our team and chat with other data users in an informal setting. The first 30 minutes are open time with breakout rooms with NDACAN staff to provide support for survey data, administrative data, statistical consulting, and networking. The second 30 minutes are dedicated to a specific theme, presentation, or workshop. Themes for office hours will change from month to month, so make sure to follow us on Twitter @NDACAN_CU and sign up for the NDACAN CMRL mailing list for the latest topics. Regardless of your stage of research, our expert team is here to help. The events are free but advanced registration is required through the link provided below.
