May, 2023 ARC Events

Welcome to the May, 2023 ARC!

May 2023 ARC Session Recording Links

The May, 2023 ARC will take place May 22-26, 2023. Most events will be online with a blend of synchronous and asynchronous content. This ARC will take place in Microsoft Teams in a blend of "meetings" and "webinars." All events are free and open to anyone.

We also encourage any member of the Wichita State community to have a look at our LinkedIn Learning Challenge courses. If you work for Wichita State but have not yet claimed your LinkedIn Learning license, please do so by following the instructions online. Once you do that, LinkedIn Learning access is free. If you are not employed by WSU but you do live in Wichita, Kansas, you can also get free LinkedIn Learning access through the Wichita Public Library.

Find links to Team meetings for each session in the Daily Sessions tabs. A day or two after each session, the Outlook invite will be replaced by a link to the session recording.
