Presentation and Tour of Schindler Education Center

Jan 08, 2020

Join us as we tour the UNI Schindler Education Center.  We will walk the halls of Schindler to see the improvements and innovations that have occurred over the past 5 years.  

We will meet at our usual location which is now called the Lifestyle Inn Lounge and Conference Center (formerly the Clarion Inn), 5826 University Avenue, Cedar Falls, IA. Social time beginning at 6:00 pm with dinner at 6:30 pm. 

Schindler Education Center (SEC) was built in 1970.  It has a long and interesting history.  From 2015 - 2017, the Schindler occupants were moved to other places on the campus to make way for an 18-month Total Renovation of the building. Those of you who know SEC, will find many improvements throughout the building.

Dr. Leigh Zeitz will speak to us about Technology in Teaching, a Tour of Schindler Education Center which will begin at approximately 7:30 pm.
