Holiday Team Building: Escape of the Ugly Sweaters
Adjunct Faculty, you are invited to the team-building luncheon.
This is a chance for you to reconnect with your fellow adjuncts, see how everyone is doing, and enjoy yourselves before the final push of final grades... should be fun.
Or, will it?...
What many adjuncts do not know is that E building is haunted. A ghost still stalks the floors of E. Librarians don’t talk about it, but they continue to lock the library a little early on some evenings. There are mornings when they fear to open it. Even the new carpeting cannot stop the deep foreboding that lurks within.
Adjuncts! We need your help!
When: Friday, Dec 1 @ 10:00 – 12:30
Where: Meet in the Computer Commons
What: Wear your ugly sweater! If you DARE!

Ep15 - Podcasting: Four Different Types of Podcasts
When podcasting first made its way to the iPod and phones many years ago, there was a great fear that podcasting could in fact be the death of radio. As we know that is far from the truth, but it does offer many ways of offering spoken word to reach all types of listeners.
A podcast can be in the form of a storytelling experience, an interview, crime dramas, or a casual conversation between two sports fans discussing the weekend’s football games to entertain you on a long commute. We’ll discuss that today, we will talk about the 4 basic types of podcasts that tend to work well with listeners and these formats are now pretty much standard in the podcast industry.
Have an Idea? Are you Interested in Showcasing a Project or Program?
Consider doing a PUMA Playback video or share your instructional project with the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Employee Engagement. You can fill out our new Feature Story Submission Form or contact us to learn more about how we can collaborate with you to make this a seamless and fun process.
