FDIC Spring Development and Innovation Opportunities

The Faculty Development and Innovation Center is pleased to announce our Spring 2023 Workshop and Webinar Schedule. This semester we are introducing our FDIC-Flex hybrid option on most workshops. . We recently upgraded our technology which will allow us to broaden how we can offer professional development opportunities for you. Hybrid workshops will be offered in-person on campus as well as synchronously on Zoom and we will also be able to record the workshops and have them available on our website.
