Recently, the IGCC started offering IG training sessions as an orientation for IG chairs and other roles to the key aspects of running an IG, communicating with the IGCC, and using the MiALA website to facilitate interest group activities. The sessions were well attended and reportedly useful, so the IGCC again offering them this September. Two dates are available to accommodate your schedules and will repeat the same training. We will also record one of the sessions and can share the recording upon request. Please contact Katie Edmiston, IGCC chair for 2025-26, at edmis2k@cmich.edu, if you have questions or would like to request the recording.â¨
