Meeting location options include:
You can also email kathryn.houk@unlv.edu, but she may request that you book a consult based on the question.
If you have a group of five or more people interested in learning the same skill or topic, you can request an instruction session. Just like any didactic session, these will not be tailored to a specific project, but focus on skills, tips and approaches that can be broadly applied.
A minimum of two weeks notice is needed to schedule and prepare this type of session. You can request a session through Katie's Google booking form, which alerts her as soon as a request is submitted. She will contact you to confirm details within 48 business hours unless she is out of the office.
