Sophia Haire has joined the Instructional Technology team as the new Turning Technologies Clicker Intern for the Spring 2017 semester. Sophia is a senior Center for Women in Technology (CWIT) scholar majoring in computer science and mathematics, and minoring in sociology. Sophia will be supporting UMBC faculty and students with the use of clickers. Her main tasks will be to respond to RT tickets, develop a self-paced clicker training course on Blackboard, and conduct clicker workshops.

Sophia has served in several capacities during her time here at UMBC, including being a grader for MATH 215 and a learning assistant for PHYS 122. Post-graduation, she will be starting an internship with AmeriCorps in Minneapolis teaching basic digital literacy skills to vulnerable populations seeking employment. Following her internship, Sophia plans to pursue a graduate degree in applied sociology to help nonprofit organizations tailor their services to their populations more effectively.

If you would like to contact Sophia for assistance with clickers, please submit an RT ticket.

Welcome to the team Sophia!
