I WORK WITH MANY WONDERFUL, INNOVATIVE EDUCATORS, AND IT WAS ON FULL DISPLAY AT OUR ANNUAL TEACHING SYMPOSIUM. TECHNOLOGY DROVE MUCH OF OUR PANDEMIC INNOVATION, BUT IT WAS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN FACULTY, STUDENTS, AND OUR AMAZING LTS STAFF THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO WEATHER THIS MOMENT. THE SYMPOSIUM PUT THE RESULTS OF THAT HUMAN CONNECTION FRONT AND CENTER. IT IS NOT THE TECHNOLOGY THAT SHOULD TAKE A BOW, BUT THE COMMUNITY THAT WORKED TOGETHER TO DEPLOY IT THOUGHTFULLY. THE WORK OF THE UNIVERSITY IS RELATIONSHIPS. —JEREMY LITTAU Professor of Journalism and Communication K.
