All Hunter faculty are invited to join us on Thursdays for lunch, conversation, and hands-on experience with a range of technologies that can enhance teaching and learning. Find out how your colleagues are using technology and have your questions answered by our team of educational technologists. Each Tech Thursday session will be accompanied by a hands-on workshop on a related topic, to be held on the following Monday. The Tech Thursday series is a joint initiative of ICIT and the Office of the Provost.
Sign up for our email list to receive announcements about upcoming events. And check out summaries of previous events.
