Each semester we host a variety of events and workshops. Examples of past events include crafts, technology/software workshops, and equipment workshops. These events are open to all UAH students, faculty, and staff at no cost. For craft events, supplies and tools are provided (while supplies last). Attendance slots are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Our events for the fall and spring semesters can be found below. Unless noted otherwise, all events will take place in the MultiMaker Lab (LIB 115). For the most up-to-date information or to see all upcoming library events, please visit the Events page of our website.
