Library, ITS, Instructional Design, Accessibility in one place!
Join us for a chance to get your courses and your tech sorted out before the quarter starts. Representatives from the Library, Information Technology Services, Instructional Design, and Accessible Technology will be on hand to help with everything from connecting your smartphone to Outlook, to finding journal articles and posting them in Canvas, to testing your syllabus with a screen-reader. Bring us your research ideas, your tech questions, your syllabus to test… and someone will be here to answer them or provide credible-sounding obfuscation!
Contacts: Theresa Duhart, Marc Lentini, Bobby Dutreix, Deb Moore.

Library Classroom, Room 206A

Assessment Goals Retreat for Faculty
Academic Affairs and the Assessment Committee invites you to the Assessment Goals Retreat to provide an opportunity to strengthen faculty professional development around assessment.  Participants will work together as departments/divisions to share ideas and practice building discussions for improving teaching and learning for students. Faculty are welcomed to use this time to gather the information needed to complete the Department Annual Review.

Come Welcome New Employees
The Office of the President hosts this reception welcoming all new Highline College employees to our community.  Please join us for some afternoon refreshments and an opportunity to welcome our new community members!  “What constitutes a new employee?” In the context of Opening Week, a new employee is any faculty or staff member that has hired on in the last twelve months.  Please join us in celebrating and building our growing community! As an added twist, faculty member Bob Baugher will be leading an interactive exercise to help us each learn more about our colleagues.  Don’t miss out on the fun!
