CLIE Events for the Week of October 5

ITRC Workshop: Faster Fixes, Smarter Judgment: UDOIT, AI, and Where the Line Is
Presenter: Dr. Lisa Kidder, Instructional Technology Resource Center
Date/Location: Tuesday, October 6, noon – 1pm; REND 129 and via Zoom
Description: This session covers using UDOIT to scan and fix accessibility issues in Canvas, including its AI-assisted suggestions for images and color contrast. We'll practice applying fixes together, then talk through where AI support helps speed things up — and where it can't replace a human who knows the course content, like writing alt text.

Faculty Lecture Series: Drag Queens and Political Activism: A Historical Expression 
Presenter: Dr. Ed Kammerer, Political Science
Date/Location: Friday, October 9, noon – 1pm; Clearwater Room, SUB, and via Zoom
Description: Drag has long functioned as both an artistic form and a mode of social commentary, often inviting audiences to reflect on the ways gender is expressed, performed, and understood. Drag performers have also played visible roles in political and civic life, from running for office and encouraging voter participation to fundraising and community advocacy. In recent years, drag has become the focus of increased political debate and legislative attention, giving renewed significance to this history of activism. This talk explores key moments and figures in that history, including José Sarria, Joan Jett Blakk, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, and others. [Add to Calendar]
