Special Faculty Academy News from DTLT
University of Mary Washington

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome back! We hope you had a restful break and that your semesters start up smoothly. As you return, we wanted to share some important information about upcoming events, opportunities, and recent news.

For the first time, we are generating this newsletter from our new site at home.umwdtlt.org. Consequently, you’ll find that each of the items below links to a page on our site (or, in the case of events, to an item in our Google calendar) with more information. While you’re on our site we encourage you to take some time to look around. We’re still growing into the new space, and we have more exciting features planned for the future.
