The GSAS Graduate Student Council is once again offering a series of noncredit mini-courses as part of January@GSAS, taught by GSAS students for GSAS students, that will engage topics of discipline-spanning appeal. These short courses, stimulating and smart, are designed for a diverse audience of nonspecialists.
