Some activities require an RSVP, so please check the schedule carefully and follow up accordingly.

Please enjoy the continental breakfast from 8 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. and then head into the theatre for the program from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Keynote speaker Joe Feldman will present on the topic of grading for equity.

Please note, January 16 is a mandatory Flex day for full-time faculty.
Important Changes for Spring 2019
Beginning in spring 2019, all Flex/professional learning activities must be recorded in ProLearning, our new learning management system accessible through the MyCOM portal. With this system, you can view a calendar of on-campus Flex events and register by selecting REQUEST for the event you want to attend. After you have attended a Flex session and signed in, you will be marked in the system as having attended and can then fill out a short, online evaluation to "complete" your training. You can also browse online training options with Lynda.com, Skillsoft, and Keenan. If you attend external training, you can go to MY TRANSCRIPT and add your information.
