Although registration is now open for this year’s Summer Faculty Institute, organizers say they would like to do even more to customize the event for those who attend.
Organizers are encouraging faculty to not just register but also to volunteer to give a presentation or suggest a topic. The more input that is received from faculty, the more those planning the event can customize offerings to match what is most important to participants.
Sessions will introduce faculty to recent instructional research and the latest technological capabilities, beginning with a keynote presentation by Sidneyeve Matrix, National Scholar and assistant professor in the Department of Media and Film at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. Matrix will speak on Tuesday, May 29. Find out more on the keynote presentation page.
