The Specialist will provide leadership in coordinating learning technology applications in conjunction with the activities of the new Shapiro Design Lab. The lab emphasizes student engagement by training peer consultants to lead learning and research projects and partnering with faculty as they re-imagine the when, where, and how of learning.
