Presidential Communications
Dear TTUHSC Community,
Today's Town Hall is specifically for our faculty; however, I encourage everyone to participate as I'm certain we will all come away with useful tips.
Many of our faculty members embraced distance teaching out of necessity for safety and well-being because of the coronavirus pandemic. Amy Moore, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, and Rebecca Sametz, Ph.D., CRC, LPC, ETS, both have extensive experience in teaching online and will be sharing their best practices.
