We Wish You a Good Summer
Whether your summer plans call for research, teaching, reading, writing, relaxation, fun, or some combination thereof, we wish you the very best and are grateful for having worked with many great instructors this semester. CITL is still here over the summer, so don't hesitate to schedule a consultation or attend a workshop if you plan to use the summer to learn something new about teaching and learning.

The workshops will be held on June 4, 6, 11, and 13, from 11am to noon, and 12:30pm to 1:30pm each day.See the summer workshop series flyer for more details.
