UCDA Conference

My colleague Dane Webster and I will be presenting the paper, “Facilitating Independent Academic Learning Environments and Merging them with Professional Practice: Case Studies at Virginia Tech” to the UCDA Design Education Summit: Design for the Common Good conference in Mobile, Alabama at the end of May.
    Unfortunately, Dane will be teaching summer school so I’m going to have to present our paper by myself, but the good news is I’ll get to see my buddy Diane (Gibbs) Smith from graduate school and catch up. I’m looking forward to the conference and hopefully some good seafood!
