On March 1st, 2011, I became the new Manager of Educational Technology Training and Outreach at Princeton University. I’m a part of OIT in Academic Services. I help to manage the personal and small group training for tools like Blackboard, WordPress, and other Princeton supported educational technologies. I also help to manage the seminar series including Lunch ‘n Learn and Productive Scholar.
I decided to update my Facebook profile picture to commemorate my transition from Rider to Princeton. I wanted to show the growth and possibility of Princeton, capture the new start that it provides, and the glory of working at one of the finest universities in the world.
I showed prints from my 365 Sketches project in the east gallery of the Mercer County Library Headquarters in Lawrence Township, NJ. The show was up for the entire month of February, 2011, and the opening reception was from 2-4 p.m. on Sunday February 6th, 2011. During the reception, I gave an overview and talk that explained the history and processes of the project.
