On behalf of the 2015 Summer Literacy Institute planning committee, we just wanted to send out a huge THANK YOU to all of the people who made this year’s institute such a success. We had over 70 attendees from 13 institutions across the state participate in 24 sessions, focus groups, and demonstrations over just a day and a half. These educators and administrators had the chance to share ideas and collaborate on math, INRW, ESOL, and student success initiatives.
We would first like to thank the following publishers for contributing snacks and meals, in addition to doing technology demos and sharing materials with our attendees:
Bedford/St. Martin’s
Cengage Learning
Hawkes Learning
McGraw Hill
Pearson Education
The following offices also provided donations and support to the committee in preparing for the institute. Our institute would not have been such a success without the generosity of these departments:
Educational Planning and Counseling
Business Office
Student Life
Auxiliary Services
Marketing
South Campus Bookstore
South Campus Police Department
South Campus PHED Department
Finally, I would like to personally thank the following people for their countless hours of help leading up to and on the days of the institute. It truly took a team effort to pull this off!
