Regional campus presenters to join NewU webinar Tuesday

Two members of Purdue University's regional campuses have added their names to the roster of presenters for the fifth NewU webinar, "Continuous Improvement in Teaching and Learning," which is set for 1:30-2:30 Tuesday (Nov. 7).

The new presenters are Adam Dircksen, director, Center for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, and Emily Hixon, director, Center for Faculty Development and Leadership at Purdue University Northwest. They will join Jon Harbor, Purdue director of digital education and associate vice provost.
