Thanks and Recognition
The
schedule
for
the 2013 Faculty Academy once again boasts
14
sessions
that
span
throughout one very
full day, but
this year
they are all presented by
representatives
from New River Community and Technical College!
I am very
pleased
to
lift up my academic colleagues by putting you on
the
stage
to
share
your experiences and expertise
in
this annual event.
The presentations
this year address a
range of
topics
from eBooks and new
definitions of distance education
to assessment
issues and
the creation of a
new online
student orientation.
As you
review
the program,
I’m certain you’ll
find
something of
interest
to you.
The Faculty Academy
is
intended
to be an event
to
showcase our own New
River
faculty and
this year
it achieves
that with a
100%.
It
is
truly YOUR event!
So please
join me
in
thanking all of our
Presenters
and
Session Chairs
who
have made
this year’s program possible.
Their names are clearly
listed
in
the
program.
And
for providing
the name badges, coffee mugs, printed
proceedings, meals and generally helping with all
the
logistics,
I
thank
Reba
Jourdan
and
Myrna Thomas
.
For hosting
the Academy
this year,
I
thank
Lisa
Hatcher
and all
the employees at
the
Advanced Technology Center
for
their
wonderful hospitality and camaraderie.
I am
sincerely
thankful
to all of you who help
to make
the Academy a
success
each year.
It
is your event and
I
look
forward
to
it each year because with your
help
I
feel
that
it
is progressively getting better each
time.
Best
regards,
Dr. David
