Call for Participation

You are cordially invited to the MELTI Capstone Seminar on Saturday, September 24 at Thornton Auditorium (TMH 260). The MELTI Capstone Seminar is the culminating activity of the Minnesota Educators and Leaders Technology Initiative (MELTI) grant we received from the Minnesota Department of Education last year.
