Instructional Technology CoP Interest Survey

Over 50 faculty visited the 1st floor of Hoskins on Friday, Oct 30 for the OIT Faculty Meet & Greet. They learned about the many teaching, learning, and research services available to them from the Office of Information Technology. This was a great opportunity for them to network with one another as well.
