Leveraging the Free Tier: Teaching System Development with Services that are Always Free

8/10/2022 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM

A great way for students to experience system development is through implementing a real system. In this hands-on workshop, we will explore the free-tier offerings of AWS, GCP and Azure that we find most relevant to student development and build an application that uses a number of these services. Along the way, we will give introductory exposure to version control with GIT and GitHub.

Workshop: Launching a global network of equity catalysts

8/11/2022 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Description: The workshop will present to academic leaders and full professors a new catalyst model for helping mid-career faculty springboard to the next phase of their career advancement. The goal being to engage several of the attendees as “catalysts”. A critical question over the past several years has been: How can the AIS (the global IS professional association) support women’s efforts to earn promotion to full professor when there are significant global/regional differences - in promotion to full requirements, access to relational support networks, and available financial and other resources for women seeking to advance to full? The model highlights a network of global catalysts who will 1) recruit small cohorts of women faculty in their “global region” and 2) facilitate a series of 6 hour-long “springboard your career” workshops. The workshop will explain the curriculum and facilitation materials designed to foster connection among “isolated” scholars and for local relevance. The human-centered design process embraced by the model with catalysts serving as co-creators will be presented and feedback on how the model could be scaled and adapted as needed to be implemented globally and sustained beyond scope of the ADVANCE grant discussed. Through this workshop, co-sponsored by ADVANCE grant and the College of Academic Leadership, we hope to share more information about the model, engage academic leadership (and full professor) support and gain catalyst participation (at a global level).
