Next Taylor Brown spoke with us about the Sports Leadership Fellows Program, which is focused on developing leadership in student athletes.
Jim Henson discussed the LAITS online courses coming up and provided some stats on them as well. Students seems to be enjoying them, with a survey finding that 35% of students find these courses better than traditional large courses and 56% of student being more likely to take another online course in the future.
Alberto Martinez let us know about the Certificate on History and Philosophy of Science, which is taught by faculty within CoLA and CNS. It is also auto-approved.
