The Tech Express

Overview

The Tech Express is a series of user-friendly brown-bag sessions on computing at Stanford. These sessions, held Thursdays from 12:00 to 1:00 P.M and led by knowledgeable ITSS staff, are intended to meet the needs of Stanford staff, but are open to everyone, including faculty and students. No registration is required – come by and learn something new! Bring your lunch! Bring your questions! Drinks and cookies provided.

Spring Tech Express sessions will be held in Turing Auditorium (Polya Hall, Room 111).

The success of these sessions depends on you! Questions from attendees are strongly encouraged. Topics are announced in advance through the techexpress mailing list and on this web page.

Feel free to contact the Tech Express coordinator with your questions or suggestions. Call Phyllis Olrich at 725-1541 or send email to techexpress-owner@lists.stanford.edu.
