UCI Compass Community of Practice Book Club - Inaugural Event 

 

Dear UCI Community,

We are very excited to invite you to the inaugural UCI Compass Community of Practice Book Club event! Join us for an engaging discussion on The Abundant University: Remaking Higher Education for a Digital World. This virtual session will take place on Thursday, May 2, 2024, from 10:00-11:00 AM. 

     We are honored to have Dr. Michael D. Smith, Professor of Information Technology and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University's Heinz College and Tepper School of Business, joining us live. He will provide an overview of the book and lead the discussion. Dr. Vijay Gurbaxani, Director of the Center for Digital Transformation and Taco Bell Endowed Chair of Technology Management at the Paul Merage School of Business, will introduce Dr. Smith. 

     All sessions will be virtual and recorded for those who cannot attend a session. The book is available online through UCI Libraries. Links to an external site. I have also added a pdf to this invite. Information on subsequent sessions will follow. If you have any questions or need further information, feel free to contact the UCI Compass Community of Practice team at compasscop@uci.edu.
