Workshops offered by Educational Systems may be used as required professional development hours (CEU’s).
Educational Systems offers different workshops for faculty to tune-up their skills each semester. Workshops are conducted across campus. Some sessions will be in computer labs to accommodate individual hands-on experiences. We offer multiple sessions of the same workshop for your convenience. Come once or come as often as you wish…but, please, be sure to reserve your space!

Call Margaret Bourcier at ext. 20395 for your reservation.
