Hey all, quick reminder for you:

The CFP for the first annual Iowa OER Summit is ending today, so send in a proposal if you're interested! It's a great chance to show off your work and connect with other educators and advocates across the state of Iowa. And even if you don't have work to share or talk about, we'd love to e-see you there in March! 

Sincerely,
