Introduction
The Curriculum Committee is offering three faculty/instructor development sessions this year. The first session will be held on Zoom on November 1. At this first session, we will take some time to hear from you about what other topics you hope we will bring to this three part series of faculty development meetings. We hope to have at least one meeting in person/hybrid style when we are in our new location.
