Good afternoon, I have scheduled a new safety awareness training session for those visitors/students/new employees who need to attend an "in-person" training. This session is scheduled for next Tuesday, July 25, 2017 from 10:30-11:30 am in FRNY G060A. If you have new visitors, postdocs, etc., who joined your group recently and need this training, please ask them to attend this sessions. As a reminder: most of the undergraduate students in our School already had initial training and therefore they might not need to attend another session. If you are unsure, please send me their names and I can check what they need to complete. Should you have any questions, please let me know.
