Please join us on Thursday, March 21, from noon to 1 pm in the Yosemite Classroom (1st floor of the Library) for “What’s My Research?” featuring Andrew Conklin (Composition and Music Theory), Michael Leonard (Art, Media and Performance Design), Eric Sonstroem (English), and Benjamin Zeitlin (Biomedical Sciences).

The upcoming panel presentation is set to be an engaging exploration of Open Educational Resources (OER) which aims to provide a practical perspective into the research behind OER development and its implications for teaching and learning in a university setting.
