We are forming cohort groups within the PLN to connect members with similar interests. Get involved with the area of #digcit that interests you!

The descriptions below give very general examples of the work that each cohort group might engage in. Once the groups have been formed and participants discuss the strengths and passions that each member brings, each cohort will fine-tune its goals for the upcoming year.
