Hello ITAIS members! I hope the new school year finds you all happy and healthy (if a bit overworked!). In this issue, we have two articles by colleagues from the University of Southern California and Carnegie Mellon University touching on important issues in ITA training. As always, the practical and useful information in these articles will help ITA trainers update and implement their programs more effectively.
