Douglas Hall, an instructor in the Jewelry Manufacturing Arts department, will speak on "Practical Ergonomics: This won't Hurt, Trust Me..." His experience includes nine years as an instructor and active involvement with the GIA's ergonomic team, which works to improve workspaces for students who work with the tools of the gem and jewelry trade and GIA employees.
