Faculty Institute Offers Teaching and Technology Bundle to Participants

Something new: This year's summer faculty institute includes a week-long curriculum for faculty to apply new concepts to their courses through hands-on, project-oriented sessions. In the keynote and general sessions, participants will be introduced to new ideas and models for applying technology to teaching. Faculty who make a commitment to the full institute program from June 20-24 will apply the material from the morning sessions to specific teaching objectives of their choosing in the afternoon sessions. Full institute participants will receive a technology bundle to facilitate continuity of their selected teaching project. Faculty interested in the full institute program should submit an application by May 1, 2005.
