RE: Invitation to the 2018 CUNY
Instructional/Information Technology Conference

I am delighted to extend to you and your colleagues this invitation to
attend the 17th Annual CUNY IT Conference, which will take place this year
on Thursday, November 29 and Friday, November 30 at John Jay College. I
hope you will join me in attending; registration is free for members of the
CUNY community. Please be aware that pre-registration is important as we
need to be able to estimate attendance. You will find an overview of the
Conference, the full program and the keynotes, and the link to register at

The theme for this year’s conference is “Technology and Education:
Challenges and Opportunities,” which will include the following topics:

– How does technology provide challenges and opportunities for multiple
stakeholders at CUNY and across the varied sectors of teaching, learning,
research, and administration?
– How do educators perceive the challenges and opportunities of
technology in the classroom? And how do they balance them?
– How can technology create new opportunities for students? What
challenges does technology present that may also be viewed as opportunities
for teaching and learning?

As with prior conferences, this year will feature two keynote speakers. The
Thursday keynote is the author and NPR lead education reporter Anya
Kamenetz, who will offer new ideas on the evolution of education and
learning, including reforms and actions necessary to advance workforce
training and reduce student debt. The Friday keynote speaker is Professor
Stephen Brier from the Graduate Center’s Urban Education PhD program and
founder and first coordinator of the Graduate Center’s Interactive
Technology and Pedagogy certificate program.

The Conference begins at 12 pm on November 29, followed by two sets of
concurrent presentations, Anya Kamenetz’s keynote address at 3:30 pm, and
Interim Chancellor Vita C. Rabinowitz’s Welcome to the Annual CUNY
Technology Awards at 4:30 pm. Day 2 (November 30) begins with continental
breakfast at 8:30 am, concurrent sessions starting at 9:30 am, Professor
Brier’s keynote address at 10:45 am, lunch, two more sets of concurrent
sessions, and finally an end-of-day drawing with prizes from the vendors.

I look forward to seeing you there.
