Today is the third week of our semester-long Excel workshop. Most Friday mornings at 11am you can join Amer Shurrab in the Digital Learning Commons for an hour of quantitative calisthenics.
The Commons wants to make sure we’re teaching the data skills you want to learn, whether they’re academic, professional or personal. Please help us shape the rest of the year by taking our Excel survey. We’ll be announcing our full workshop schedule in the next few weeks, hope to see you there!
The Commons’ Fall Open House was a smashing success, with food, games and dozens of attendees.
Activities included what’s your favorite app, and inspirational quotes. Some favorites included The Guardian‘s News App for Android, because it offers “well written international and national news”, and Waze, because “Google Maps + Social Networking = Awesome”.
Favorite quote? “When you come to a fork in the road, take it!” – Yogi Berra.
The three raffle prizes went to the lucky winners: Gregory Singfield in TESOL/TFL won a gift certificate for MIIS S.W.A.G. through Simoneau House. Professor Nükhet Kardam won a gift certificate to Café Lumiere. And NPTS student Tom Gray won a certificate to the iTunes gift store.
Stop by The Commons to share your favorite apps, quotes, and passions – we love to hear from you!
