“Experience CTS” Sampler Days:

We invite you to join us for one of our upcoming Experience CTS sampler days to be held in the spring semester. The three Sampler Day of the spring semester will be held February 29, March 26, and April 26.

Prospective students, mentors of potential students, guests and inquirers are all welcome to attend.  Reimbursement for parking and guest housing is available upon request. The Experience CTS sampler day is designed to offer you a sample of the CTS learning experience with only a small commitment of time.
