SPCS adjuncts receive PETE course transformation grants

Nick Popovich and Dirk Burrus, both adjunct instructors of information systems, earned a shared award totaling $1,500 for the transformation project “Cloud Computing: Infrastructure and Services; Introduction to Ethical Hacking and Pen Testing.”

Dr. Meghan Rosatelli, SPCS adjunct professor of liberal arts and Arts & Sciences adjunct professor of American studies and director of Digital America, earned an award totaling $1,000 for the transformation project “Memoirs from American Art.”

PETE has an annual budget to provide summer stipends for faculty to develop a new (first-time) course or substantially revise an existing course. SPCS is proud to see its adjuncts take advantage of such funds to create new courses and revise existing courses.
