The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) immersion team of the Instructional Technology program won an award at Mason's annual Innovations 2007 Expo for “Most Effective Corporate/Community Interaction.” This award was sponsored by the Business Alliance of George Mason University. The annual Innovations event is a gathering and expo of unique and innovative student learning experiences. The MSHA team facilitated by Nada Dabbagh (ndabbagh@gmu.edu) is completing the development of the underground coal mine supervisor training system which will be delivered to MSHA by end semester.
Judy Costello (jcostel2@gmu.edu) executive director of the Business Alliance of George Mason University has invited the team to share their project with business leaders at the SmartConnect networking mixer on May 7.
