Georgia State University

 Satish Nargundkar & Isabelle Monlouis

 

 

Laptop Requirement: Participants are expected to bring a laptop to the workshop. Those who do not have a laptop may sit with a classmate and watch, though it may reduce the benefit you get.  

 

All class meetings are held at the Georgia State Buckhead Campus, 200 Tower Place, Buckhead, from 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM.

In addition, you may need to stay between 4:30 and 6:00 PM two or three nights during the week

to complete the group assignments so that you can get your Green Belt on Friday if successfully completed.
