Section Project NExT

The Iowa Section is currently making plans to start a sectional version of Project NExT for new faculty.  This might include special sessions either during or just before the spring section meetings.  These sessions would be designed for and open to all (relatively) new faculty in the section.

Contact Mark Johnson at Central College (johnsonm@central.edu) if you would like to be involved or have ideas for speakers or session topics.
