While the MIST program is preparing me for postgraduate studies that address the use of technology in education, it is also providing me with skills I can use to improve the courses I am teaching right now. MIST faculty are enthusiastic and engaging, and share a wealth of expertise in the fields supported by this program. I find my interactions with the faculty and within my cohort to be enlightening and often exhilarating.
