Dear CRDM Students,

 

On March 27-28, the CRDM will hold its annual symposium with this year’s theme being: Hybrid Play. The symposium is organized by Dr. Adriana de Souza e Silva, and the associate organizer is Dr. Nick Taylor. 

 

As a part of this year’s symposium, select students will have the opportunity to work with one of our invited speakers to receive feedback on a work-in-progress. If you would like the opportunity to work with one of these invited speakers, please contact Ragan Glover at rlglove2@ncsu.edu after you have read both the description and requirements. In this email, please indicate which invited speaker(s) you are most interested in working with along with a brief abstract of the work you would like to discuss with the invited speaker. Please note, the abstract does not need to reflect an already-completed work. The deadline for abstract submission is  Wednesday, January 17.  Please respond promptly: space is limited!
