[nics-forum] Invitation to Sept. 16 Workshop, Leadership for Networking

[susan.turnbull@xxxxxxx]

Greetings!
 
You and your colleagues are invited to Collaborative Expedition Workshop #76, "Leadership for Networking and Information Technology Education (NIT)".  This no fee, one-day public workshop will explore opportunities and challenges of learning environments that advance the skills needed to effectively use and co-evolve the cyberinfrastructures powering not only how we work and learn, but how we construct our societies and institutions.  What are the educational and workforce goals that must be envisioned and met to preserve national leadership and advance prosperity for our citizens?
 
This workshop will open up dialogue to facilitate "bootstrapping" among multiple communities and institutions whose contributions to effective networking and information technology education will play a pivotal role in the continued vitality and creativity of our 21st century democracy.
