Houghton Mifflin continues to underwrite this 2-day traveling workshop for the benefit of our faculty and institutions, and again this year will be providing hosting institutions with 10 free registrations for their faculty to attend the workshop at their campus. This workshop is a marvelous opportunity to provide quality professional development for your faculty, as well as to showcase your institution and facilities. Many campuses have used this workshop as an outreach opportunity for their local high schools. I have appended some information regarding the workshop below. Feel free to contact me for further information and if you are interested in scheduling a workshop at your campus.
