The Faculty Technology Resource Center
The Faculty Technology Resource Center is located in the CTL offices in Penrose Library, room 323 (top floor, southeast corner). We provide training to faculty and other teaching staff who want to use the software and hardware available in the resource center. We are, of course, willing to do the job ourselves upon request! The CTL does not charge units for its services.
The resource center is staffed from 8:30-4:30 PM Monday through Friday. Faculty and other teaching staff may use our facilities by arranged access on evening and weekends. Call 303.871.2084 for additional information.
