What our attendees had to say:

“I felt that the sessions I attended were very detailed and informative. I also felt that they were well organized so that the topics related well to each other.”

“Very informative. Some new info, some refreshers, but all very helpful. I really appreciated the broad range of workshop topics. And really great to connect, if only virtually, with colleagues.”

“SES continues year after year, day in and day out to provide needed information and refresher sessions to those at CU who rely on this information to do their jobs carefully and accurately.”
