There is still a lot of work to be done to ensure the improvements provide future health professionals with training and exposure to the practical use of connected health technologies in a team-based environment. You likely won’t benefit from all the future upgrades, but what are your thoughts on the plans to improve the facility and technology? You know, investing in the

expectations of college and helping them fill in the gaps they did not realize existed. Our research will continue throughout the year, as we explore how students’ research confidence changes over the course of their first year. We encourage faculty to learn more by visiting Project Information Literacy, which examines the information literacy habits of college students. We also encourage faculty to meet with a librarian when developing research assignments. And we recommend using an instructional designer
