I hope you are doing well! We haven't had the chance to meet, I believe, but I served as TAC Coordinator a few years ago with my colleague Heather Dwyer. I wanted to pass along a job opportunity that current TACs and GTC folk may be interested in. I know that serving as a TAC has really prepared me for the job market and I love my job now directing Teaching and Learning Programs at the Center for Teaching and Learning at Berea. This below posting is from the POD list-serv--an excellent resource, and how I found out about my current position.
Best,
Jamiella
