New Director for Teaching and Learning with Technology 

I am very happy to inform you that Dr. Mark L. Fink will join our team as the Director for Teaching and Learning with Technology starting on May 16, 2016.  Mark brings a wealth of experience collaborating with others in innovative and transformative ways which positively impact teaching, learning, and scholarship through effective use of learning technologies.  He has an enthusiasm and passion for helping others succeed. Mark is a staunch supporter and advocate for staff!  He is excited to get started in helping our team contribute significantly to advancing IC 20/20 by integrating learning technologies into the fabric of Ithaca’s multi-perspective approach.  We are fortunate to have him also bring his vast international and national relationships in learning technologies gained through organizations like the New Media Consortium (NMC.org).  I am confident Mark will seek a focus on student success and exemplary teaching.  We will benefit from his depth of knowledge and leadership experience.
