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  J. Ayersman, Vice President  for Information Technology Services
