PTLC co-chair

I've just been made the co-chair of our campus's Professional Teaching and Learning Center. The PTLC provides our faculty with a place to share teaching and learning-related information; to provide access to current research in effective teaching practices, the science of learning, instructional design, and instructional technology; to provide support and added value for faculty and staff professional development initiatives; and to provide ongoing assessment of effectiveness. (Taken straight from the PTLC objectives.) It seems like it will be a great asset to our campus. Most of our faculty consists of adjuncts who don't have much connection with each other. I think this will be a great place to discuss new techniques and to learn from each other, as well as a place to relax.
