The Tech Library & Academic Affairs are hosting an Open Education Week event on March 4, 2024, from 12pm to 1pm in RPL 300A for students to learn more about Open Educational Resources (OER). There will be snacks and information as to how they can choose courses with free textbooks. Faculty are welcome to attend as well.

Directly following the student event at 1pm there will be a session for faculty to learn more about a new grant award opportunity for reviewing OER textbooks. No application necessary. Find out how to get $300 per review for up to five reviews.

Look back at Tech’s first History Club, founded in 1931 with Thomas A. (T. A.) Dulaney, Professor of History, as the sponsor.

This photo, which appeared in the 1931 Agricola, shows the professor and the beginnings of Tech’s first museum, located in Old Main, on the site where Crabaugh Hall now stands.

A small collection of papers, including postcards, letters, and other papers from the History Club and Professor Dulaney is currently being processed at the Arkansas Tech University Archives and will soon be open for research.

Started at the end of February, the festival continues with another six movies that will be projected in the Doc Bryan Auditorium. The movies illustrate the four foreign languages taught at Tech: French, German, Japanese, and Spanish.

To the Intro to Films, sociology, even history (Pan's Labyrinth), or technology (AI present in Oxygen and in I'M Your man) faculty: offer a bonus to your students! Ask them to write a 2-page paper on some topic developed in the movie. There is something for everyone and this is a rare opportunity for your students.
