Faculty Education Program
The College of Humanities frequently sponsors workshops,
discussion groups, software demonstrations and other special events designed
to help faculty members feel comfortable and competent using computers for teaching, research, presentations and administrative work.
Workshop arrangements are made by the Office of the Dean of the College of Humanities and coordinated by Elizabeth Sommers, Associate Professor of English and College of Humanities Computer Education Coordinator. The Center for Enhancement of Teaching (CET), Computing Services, the Audio-Visual Center (AVC) and other campus groups also continue to give presentations for SFSU faculty.
