Join us every week during the semester for a delicious pizza lunch and an engaging topic related to the latest in teaching and learning! Can't make it in person? No problem! Register on Campus Groups and you'll receive a Zoom link to join us virtually (you'll have to provide your own pizza, however!). Relax, make connections with colleagues across campus, and learn a thing or two with UCITE!
