RDA training at Princeton

To prepare for Princeton’s implementation of official RDA, CaMS will conduct a series of RDA training sessions beginning in Fall 2026. The training will be delivered in two phases, with Phase 1 taking place in Fall 2026 and Phase 2 scheduled for early 2027.

Phase 1 training: each training session will be offered twice: in Firestone on Monday and then at 693 on Thursday. You are welcome to attend either session. The content will be the same.

Please register for each session you are planning to attend.

Slides will be posted after the sessions, but there will be no recordings.
