NAC IV Workshop Program

2016 NAC IV Workshop Goals

  • To bring together NAC students, mentors, and representatives from HBCUs, majority universities, professional societies, funding agencies, and observatories, to provide opportunities for networking
  • To give NAC students an opportunity to share their summer research experiences

Are you presenting?

In order to help the program go smoothly, and to minimize delays, we’d like to ask all presenters to do two things:

  1. Please upload your presentation to this site: https://osf.io/view/NACIV/ - using the ‘talk’ email address nacIV-talk@osf.io
  2. Bring your presentation on a thumb drive, preferably having it ready first thing Saturday morning, in case there are changes to the program, or unexpected technical difficulties


Please note that the program is subject to change.
