Meetups: We hope you can join us for one or more sessions in a series of Community of Practice sessions centered around coordination. These informal conversations will provide a space to share ideas, connect to other course coordinators, and troubleshoot challenges related to course coordination. 

At the February 13th meeting Emily will give a short presentation (10 minutes or so) on leadership & coordination and then we will use breakout rooms for follow up discussion. We hope to see you there and please share this announcement with your colleagues.

Best,

Deb, Mary, & Chris
