Happy Holidays!
This time of year is great for reflection and warm wishes. We wanted to wish all of our faculty a very happy and merry holiday season. We enjoy working with you and appreciate all of your hard work and assistance to bring a first-rate educational experience to our IST students.
Penn State Offices Closed
We wanted to remind faculty that our offices are closed during the Penn State winter break, December 22nd through January 1st. During that time, many of us will be traveling and spending time with our families and friends. We will be back in the office and ready to answer your course and Canvas-related questions on January 2nd. Have a great holiday break!
SP19 World Campus Course Dates
If you are teaching a World Campus course in SP19 and have not received notice that your section is ready, expect that information this week! While you are preparing for SP19, we wanted to pass along some important dates:
-
December 24 – January 1: Penn State offices are closed
-
Week of January 2: Preview week
-
January 7: SP19 semester starts
We look forward to another great semester with our teaching faculty!
