Opening Session: Panel Discussion by the IT Fellows
I had heard the final presentations of this year’s IT Fellows, so I was familiar with much of what the panel presented today. I’d love to hear what others think about it though.

One more day until the Faculty Academy. If this post seems a little shallow, it might be because it’s a test of the FA broadcasting system. More soon!
