As a reminder to all, the Faculty Center is here to assist you in any way possible during the Intersession and in preparation of your Spring 2021 courses. For those interested, there are still seats available in both Winter cohorts of our Bb Basics and Teaching Remotely courses. If you have not yet taken advantage of these wonderful online teaching and learning training resources, you still have time to enroll. Available course sections are as follows:
