Leblond has recently been named a Martarano Leadership Fellow. As a Martarano Fellow, he will represent the college on the university-wide Digital Learning Academic Council (DLAC) and in ongoing university conversations and strategic initiatives to build blended and new online programs. 

Over the year, he will use what he learns in those conversations to identify potential opportunities and gaps in the college’s undergraduate and graduate online course portfolios. By working closely with members of the Cada R. and Susan Wynn Grove Center for Excellence in Science Education, he will learn more about the instructor’s work, their needs, and how they are serving online and digital educational needs in the college.
