Dear Center for,

With the Spring 2024 semester nearly here, the Center for Teaching Innovation looks forward to supporting teaching and learning across campus. We are pleased to offer a full slate of new and returning workshops.

We're also pleased to announce the launch of our Creative Technologies Lab, a redesigned space that will allow us to support faculty interested in integrating extended realities (VR/XR), generative AI, digital storytelling, and more into their teaching.

As always, CTI is here to help. Please reach out to us directly with specific questions or a consultation request. You can also email or join our daily Zoom drop-in hours.

Best wishes,

Rob Vanderlan, Ph.D.
