In May 2023, higher education faculty members from all disciplines at Southwestern Pennsylvania colleges and universities are invited to participate in the four-day Future Readiness Academy to explore new and emerging technologies, while also discussing how they augment and change pedagogy and student preparation.
Since the Future Readiness Academy is an initiative of Southwestern PA's Build Back Better federal grant project, there is not cost to attendees. Those who register should plan to be able to attend all four workshop dates due to limited space.
