NITLE Fellows provide broad analysis, strategic insight, encouragement and perhaps a little provocation to the liberal arts community. Hailing from both within and outside higher education, these thought leaders connect NITLE and its members to broad understandings of digital technology and its impact, pointing to ways both can be understood. They help NITLE keep an eye on the big picture, revealing paths towards a strong future for liberal education and providing critical support to the NITLE mission.
Other NITLE Fellows include Brent D. Glass, director emeritus of the Smithsonian's National Museum for American History; Alan Kay, one of the earliest pioneers of object-oriented programming, personal computing and graphical user interfaces; Fred Mednick, founder of Teachers Without Borders; Tracy Mitrano, director of IT policy and Institute for Computer Policy and Law at Cornell University; and Thomas A. Warger, who served as CIO at Bryn Mawr College.
Dr. Susan Carter, interim chair of the MA in Interdisciplinary Studies Department, was named vice president of the Pacific Northwest Region of the American Academy of Religion / Society of Biblical Literature in May 2013.
