Welcome to the January, 2022 ARC!

The January, 2022 ARC will take place January 10-13. Most events will be online with a blend of synchronous and asynchronous content. On Wednesday, January 12, the ARC will join with the Graduate School to host Zoom events for all new and returning GTAs. GTAs and interested others can get the Zoom link below, in the "Wednesday" accordion. Because this ARC is a "mid-year" event, we don't have much other new-instructor onboarding. If you are new to 萝莉社 and need some help with Blackboard, you can find links to video-based Blackboard trainings here. You should also have a look at our "Instruction Manual" for instructors here.

Except for LinkedIn Learning courses, all ARC events are free for anyone in the higher education community to attend. We invite all interested parties to our events! As always, anyone associated with 萝莉社 as a student, instructor of any rank, or as staff can also take advantage of the LinkedIn Learning opportunities. If you are associated with 萝莉社 but have not yet claimed your LinkedIn Learning license, please do so by following the instructions online.
