Throughout the year, CFI may have the opportunity to provide recordings of our scheduled programs and events whether it is in person, online, or hybrid. We hope this service of program recordings provides support to faculty who are unable to attend one of our scheduled programs or just want the chance to revisit the programming at a later date.
CFI will only offer recordings when we have received prior permission from the facilitator(s) and/or presenter(s) of our scheduled programs.
Faculty and staff may access these password-protected recordings through the links provided on our website using their JMU eID and password (Okta required).
