IF THERE ARE ANY OF THE PAST TOPICS YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE REPEATED, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. IF THERE ARE ANY NEW TOPICS THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN EXPLORING, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
Finally, a reminder that the transition website for the Western Division and TUC is available at https://western.touro.edu/cilt/canvas-transition/. This site contains a variety of items, including how to videos and hand-outs for both faculty and students. We are adding to these faculty and student resources every few days.
As always, if you have any questions please let Jim or myself know.
