CONNECT is a collaboration effort between the Alumni Library, Counseling and Disability Services, Learning & Development, and Division of Student Affairs. The goal of the CONNECT newsletter is to provide a centralized place for information about workshops, lectures, activities, and events relevant to faculty. This central repository will make it easier for faculty to learn about what is happening on campus specifically for them.

Learning and Development is pleased to welcome Sarah Walkowiak, who joins our team as an Instructional Designer. Sarah came to WIT most recently from Brandeis University where she was a Research & Instruction Technology Specialist in Library and Technology Services. Prior to Brandeis, Sarah worked at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, also her alma mater.
