            Every year on November 8, higher education institutions around the country celebrate National First-Generation College Celebration Day! This year, our first gen celebration day will be on November 9, and while plans are still in the works, we want you to save the date, and let us know if you want to be involved!

If you have a moment, please fill out the survey so we can determine how many first gen faculty and staff we have, and if you want to be involved!

            Just as a quick reminder, if you plan to travel abroad with students in the coming year - this can be for conferences, sports team trips, research or any other reason - please make sure to reach out to the Global Education office before you discuss the trip with students.

There is a proposal process, the office runs a health and safety review and there is health and safety paperwork for the students and faculty to fill out as well so please make sure to reach out early so we have time to get everything around!

            An AI Open Mic Conversation will be held over Zoom on Wednesday, October 21, from 12:30 to 1 pm. This is an opportunity for faculty and staff to share their experiences with AI in a collaborative, informal setting. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask each other questions. The conversation will be guided by ITS staff and members of the AI Faculty Development Working Group, but there will be no formal presentation; the goal is to foster discourse on the topic of AI and learn from each other.  The Zoom link is provided below (meeting ID:  943 9399 0944, passcode:  554192).
