ETS New Faculty Summer Intensive Program

The technologies we will explore:

Twenty faculty will be selected. Participants will receive a $720 stipend, agreeing to attend three consecutive days of the Intensive from 9:30am-3:30pm, August 1-3 OR August 8-10, as well as a lunchtime gathering at the end of the Fall semester.
