The event will take place in 182 Armory (4-6pm) and will feature presentations, networking opportunities, and a design challenge. Refreshments provided. Registration is preferred by October 17.

Please note: An alternative lunchtime session will be held on Friday, Oct 25th, from 12-1pm in Room 313, Library & Information Science Building (501 E Daniel). Questions? heat-ed@illinois.edu.
