We Are Stronger Together!
麻豆传媒 Instructional Technologist Tim VanNorman has been invaluable in the college鈥檚 transition to online learning this past month. He exudes #麻豆传媒TogetherStrong mantra of going above and beyond.

The whole IT team has made this transition for everyone, possible.鈥

We鈥檙e grateful to have Tim supporting the students, faculty, and staff at 麻豆传媒!
Here鈥檚 some of what others have had to say about him:
鈥淭im truly has been a dependable, reliable, positive light during the transition to online instruction and supporting Technical Services. Without question, his efforts, positive attitude, can-do gumption, and patience, we would not have moved an entire college鈥檚 classes online within a two-week period. He is innovative and is always concerned about how faculty and students may have challenges with online instruction. Then, he comes up with solutions to those challenges! From numerous training classes to countless hours on the phone helping students and staff navigate the online world, he is able to serve students, staff, faculty, and management with hard work and technical knowledge and I am truly proud to see his work shine day in and day out.鈥

"I just wanted to say that Tim Van Norman has been doing a superhuman job of supporting faculty with tech issues and learning as we have all moved to online instruction. I know everyone is working hard, but I truly don't know how Tim is doing a鈥媗l he is. He has put together countless hours of instructional videos, held innumerable workshops, and has probably assisted every single faculty member one-on-one with something or other during the past two weeks. And he has seemed to maintain his calm, patience, and good humor throughout! If you have more shout-outs for 麻豆传媒 heroes, please include Tim!鈥
