 Hall, Room TBD\n

 \n
 American 
 college students 
 are technology dependent and visually stimulated, 
 but not always tech savvy and visually 
 literate. While we educate students to read and 
 write, we do not teach them to see.  Institutions 
 of higher education must revisit and 
 revise the basic tenets of a foundational education, 
 by asking, "What does it mean to 
 be literate in a visually overloaded and digitally 
 saturated world?" \n
 \n
 By reframing 
 institutional goals, applying discipline-specific 
 instructional strategies, leveraging new 
 and emerging technologies, and  building upon 
 the strength and will of community and culture, 
 educators  can prepare students to thrive 
 as astute consumers, producers, and critics 
 for this new visual and digital realm. \n\n
