Make a GIF

GIFs can be fun and instructional. They are great for demonstrations, are often much smaller in file size than a video and will repeat on a loop. Have you wondered how to make one? Adobe has a great little tool to easily convert a video file into a GIF.

In case you missed it, last month Maranda Ward from the department of Clinical Research & Leadership ran an interactive workshop: What Decolonizing Our Classrooms Looks Like. The workshop featured four student research activists from the CORE HEALTH lab who discussed scenarios and strategies for incorporating Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) into educational experiences. This was the first in a series of events funded by the GW Office of the Vice Provost (OVPR) University Seminar Program.
