CLOSUP Seminars and Workshops
CLOSUP sponsors a seminar series on education research (beginning Fall 2007) and hosts other occasional seminars and workshops. These events are designed to bring together researchers from across the University, and to host scholars from off campus, to present works in progress related to various policy issues at the state and/or local level.
