Why I Choose to Work at Academic Innovation

I chose to work at the Center of Academic Innovation because the university played an important role in developing who I am as a learner, marketer and person, and I wanted to find a way to give back to the community. The Center’s mission and core values are strongly aligned with my beliefs and I am excited to be part of a team that is committed to helping move the university toward innovative teaching and learning techniques and technologies. Who’s got it better?
