You should receive the new Chautauqua brochure sometime in
January. I am including here advance notice of the courses to be
offered by the University of Dayton Center in 2000. Note that there
are four new courses on Java, Hawaiian marine ecosystems,
environmental issues of the Colorado Front Range, and enhancing
an engineering technology course. New last year were retention of
science students, Visual Basic , and Hawiaan volcanoes. I would
be happy to send you by email detailed descriptions of any of
these courses. Just tell me by reply email!
Following the list of courses here is an email application form for
your use if you want to apply now. Note that the field courses tend
to fill early. In fact, last year over half of the following courses were
closed well in advance of offering. We would be happy to hear from
you now!
During the holidays my time in the office will vary. On January 3
regular activities will resume. I wish you the very best holiday
season!
