💻 Since this is a workshop-based event, it will not be recorded or held virtually. If there are resources or archival materials, we will post them on our website: The Center: Teaching & Learning Resources. If you are a remote faculty member who is interested in having this as a virtual workshop, please express your interest on the registration form.
