Workshops in Geometric Topology

*****************

Ric Ancel and Craig Guilbault are co-organizers of a popular series of NSF sponsored summer workshops. Other organizers are: Dennis Garity (Oregon State University), Fred Tinsley (Colorado College), Gerard Venema (Calvin College) and David Wright (Brigham Young University).

The 2009 Workshop (June 4-6, 2009) will be held on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and feature Mladen Bestvina of the University of Utah as principal speaker. If you are interested in attending, please check out the website.
