This year’s Resource Fair reveals the many groups around campus who are here to support you as teaching faculty at IUPUI, IUPUC, and at IUFW. We’ve gathered some introductory information to help you think about how they can be helpful. Below you’ll find, for each of the participating offices, centers, etc, a short description of their role and the work they do. Also, each participating office has arrived at 3 questions that they’d like you to ask (you can ask other questions, too). And, of course, contact information and web-sites. Have fun meeting them! By the way, visit three “booths” at this year’s Resource Fair and you’ll be entered into the AFTF’s book drawing. We’re giving away 15 books!
