Professors Amy Hauber (Fine Arts) and Christopher Watts (NCAT/Music) will talk about their work in teaching with digital media at a NERCOMP ’Special Interest Group’ workshop at College of the Holy Cross on February 2, 2009. They will each talk about recent work with one of their courses, and then lead a panel discussion. The workshop program is here.

NERCOMP (NorthEast Regional Computing Program) is an organization that seeks to ‘enhance communication and dissemination of information related to the use of computers, networks and information technology in education,’ and is an affiliate of EDUCAUSE.

Today marks the second anniversary of the new NCAT’s opening. The time has gone by quickly, but we have a great deal to show for our efforts.

A special thanks once again to those who made the NCAT possible: Trustee Allan P. Newell, the Wean family, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation, and everyone here at St. Lawrence that has worked so hard on this initiative — including outgoing University President Daniel F. Sullivan, former VP and Dean Grant H. Cornwell, and former NCAT Assistant Director Gregory S. Matejcik.

And a birthday is always a good reason to trot out the ‘official’ NCAT theme music!
