This is\nunusual, but well deserved. It would be difficult to overstate the difference\nour colleagues at DDS have made, in every department across campus, as we have\nmoved all classes online in response to the coronavirus. Among other responses\nto this crisis, they have scheduled online workshops for WebEx and Brightspace,\nhave posted tutorials for other online aids, have answered endless questions\nfrom faculty through email, and have monitored their phones for last-second\ndifficulties faculty encountered. This is, of course, no surprise. DDS has been\nproviding thoughtful and engaged professional support for our community for\nmany years. But in the context of this crisis, we have come to even more deeply\nappreciate their contributions to teaching and learning in our classrooms.
